Chapter 189: Blitzkrieg

After this great battle with the combined fleets of the navies of the five countries, the fleets of the royal navies of the two countries, Datang and Ziyue, which participated in the war, suffered varying degrees of losses in strength.

The Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also had nine Ise, ten Iron Duke-class and fourteen Tiger-class battlecruisers after the war.

After the war, the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also had thirteen King-class, thirteen Giant-class, and seventeen Florida-class.

After the war, the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire also had forty former dreadnought battleships, including eight Edward VII-class, twelve Lord Nelson-class, ten Braunschweig-class, and ten Connecticut-class.

The Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire also had twelve Earl Cavour-class, twelve Lone Pull-class and six Lion-class battlecruisers after the war.

After the war, the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire also had twenty Jizi-class dreadnought battleships, including six dreadnought battleships captured in the combined fleet of the five navies in naval battles.

In addition, the four battle cruisers of the combined fleet of the five navies captured in the naval battle, as well as a battle cruiser of the Monia Navy and a battle cruiser of the Ruierland Navy captured in October last year, will also join the sequence of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire.

After the war, the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire also had twenty-eight Huzi-class dreadnought battleships, eight of which were captured by the combined fleet of the five navies.

According to Su Yi's distribution principle, the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, which did not participate in this war, has increased its strength a little, and the five super dreadnought battleships that captured the combined fleet of the five navies have been renamed the "battle" class, and they have all been assigned to the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire.

Of course, many of the above-mentioned battleships are currently seriously injured and need to be repaired in the dock before they can be included in the sequence of the fleets.

Su Yi waited until the pursuit fleets of the royal navies of the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue began to return before leaving Huifeng Port, and Su Yi wanted to take the armored train to the western front line of the Tang Empire to inspect the battle on the front line, but then he was unanimously opposed by the military high-level of the Tang Empire, and Su Yi had no choice but to return to Chang'an City by armored train.

On the morning of February 5, 3014 in the Tang calendar, the day after Su Yi returned to Chang'an City, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, sent Su Yi a message.

"Your Majesty, the eight hundred armored vehicles, four hundred light tanks and four hundred heavy tanks of our Royal Army of the Tang Empire, as well as the eight hundred fighters and two hundred bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, have all arrived at the front line within the territory of the Celestial Star Empire."

Su Yi pondered for a moment and said, "What does Cheng Ziwen mean? ”

He Yunfei immediately said: "Your Majesty, Ziwen is going to use these fighters and tanks to launch a blitzkrieg against the Jisk army and the Orensa army in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire. ”

"Blitzkrieg? Then let Ziwen give it a try! ”

The attention of the countries of the world has not yet been taken away from the largest naval battle in history, in the early morning of February 7, 3014 in the Tang calendar, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire once again launched a large-scale attack on the Jisk army and the Orenza army in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, using more than seven million troops, and this attack, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire also dispatched a large number of fighters, armored vehicles and tanks.

The Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire was the first to attack, carrying out air strikes on important targets such as the command centers and transportation hubs of the Gisk army and the Orenza army.

Immediately afterwards, the armored forces of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, with the coordination of the air force, quickly broke through the defense line of the Gisk army and the Orenza army, and quickly interspersed in depth.

In the face of the tanks and armored vehicles that suddenly appeared, the army officers and soldiers of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire found that the bullets could not penetrate the armor of these steel monsters at all, and they immediately became confused, and one defense line after another was broken through by the tanks and armored vehicles of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

The millions of troops of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire took advantage of the breakthrough opened by tanks and armored vehicles to quickly divide and encircle the Gisk army and the Orenza army on the front line, and as of February 10, the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire had surrounded almost two million Gisk troops and nearly one million Orenza troops.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Wendell City, the capital of the Gisk Empire, Emperor Lazarik asked Prime Minister Maxim with an anxious face: "In just four days, in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, our Gisk Royal Army has lost about one million people, and two million troops have fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Purple Moon Army, Prime Minister, you have to think of a way to rescue the two million people who are trapped in the siege!" ”

Prime Minister Maxim said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Purple Moon Army not only dispatched a large number of planes this time to bombard the troops of our Gisk Royal Army on the front line of the Celestial Star Empire, but also used a large number of ironclad chariots to join the attack, ironclad chariots equipped with machine guns are called armored vehicles, and ironclad chariots equipped with artillery are called tanks. ”

Emperor Lazarik waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what the reason is, now I just want to save those two million troops." ”

Prime Minister Maxim sighed and said: "Your Majesty, now our Gisk Royal Army is in the territory of the Celestial Star Empire, there are only more than three million troops left, and our Gisk Royal Army now has a very single means of dealing with armored vehicles and tanks, and can only carry out artillery coverage, but the effect is not very obvious, after all, it is not the enemy infantry that bombards attacking, and the shells can cause damage to the enemy even if they fall dozens of meters away, and bombard moving armored vehicles and tanks, unless the shells directly hit the armored vehicles and tanks, Or the point of impact is very close to armored vehicles and tanks, otherwise it is difficult to inflict too much damage on armored vehicles and tanks. ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Maxim continued: "With more than three million Gisk Royal Army troops in the Celestial Star Empire, it is almost impossible to rescue the trapped two million troops, and due to the existence of armored vehicles and tanks in the Purple Moon Empire, it has become very difficult for those two million troops to break through by themselves, please forgive your majesty, and the minister can't think of any way now." ”

Emperor Lazarik gritted his teeth and said, "Can you send another batch of royal armies to the territory of the Celestial Star Empire?" I can't watch those two million troops being eaten by the Purple Moon Empire! ”

Prime Minister Maxim hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the army of the Purple Moon Empire, but a part of it has already invaded the northern region of our Jisk Empire, in order to block the invasion of the Purple Moon Empire, eighty percent of the troops of our Jisk Royal Army in the country have gathered in the northern region, and we can't draw too many troops to reinforce the territory of the Celestial Star Empire for the time being." ”

Emperor Lazaric said with some annoyance: "This can't work, that can't work, do you just give up the two million royal army?" ”

Prime Minister Maxim hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, unless our Gisk Empire and the Purple Moon Empire negotiate now, it is possible to rescue the trapped two million Royal Army." ”

When Emperor Lazarik heard this, he shook his head and said, "Our Jisk Empire has joined the Seven Nations Alliance, and we must not negotiate with the Purple Moon Empire alone, otherwise the other countries of the Seven Nations Alliance will not let our Jisk Empire go." ”

Prime Minister Maxim said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, in the face of the current situation, it is impossible for our Jisk Royal Army to hold the Celestial Star Empire, and the minister suggests that the remaining more than three million royal armies in the Celestial Star Empire be withdrawn to the territory of our Gisk Empire as soon as possible, as for the two million trapped Royal Army...... I can only resign myself to fate. ”

"Just gave up the Celestial Star Empire?" Emperor Lazaric asked unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't withdraw quickly, it is very likely that you will not be able to withdraw back, and our Royal Army Gisk does not have a very good way to deal with armored vehicles and tanks for the time being."

The blitzkrieg of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire really frightened the high-level of the Jisk Empire, and in the end, the Jisk Empire not only did not mobilize troops to rescue the two million trapped Jisk Royal Army, but instead ordered the remaining more than three million Jisk Royal Army in the Celestial Star Empire to quickly withdraw to the territory of the Jisk Empire.

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Cachino City, the capital of the Orensa Empire, Emperor Modest said to Prime Minister Nikifor: "The Gisk Empire has now not only given up the two million army forces surrounded by the Purple Moon Empire's army, but also the remaining more than three million army forces in the Celestial Star Empire are also preparing to be transferred back to the territory of the Gisk Empire, and it seems that the Celestial Star Empire is going to be completely abandoned." ”

Prime Minister Nikki Fore then asked, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

Emperor Modest sighed and said: "The tanks and armored vehicles of the Purple Moon Empire are too powerful, the nearly one million troops of our Orenza Royal Army that are surrounded should not be able to be saved, I am ready to withdraw the other 1.5 million Orenza Royal Army in the Celestial Star Empire to our Orenza Empire, and now I only hope to hold our Orenza Empire and wait for the situation to turn around." ”

Prime Minister Nikifore understood that the turning point mentioned by Emperor Modest meant that the armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba could defeat the Tang Imperial Army, and that was the key to the victory or defeat of the entire war.

Prime Minister Nikifore nodded and said: "Since the Gisk Empire has given up the Celestial Star Empire, then it is understandable that our Orenza Royal Army will withdraw from the Celestial Star Empire, as for the nearly one million Orenza Royal Army who are trapped, they can only let them find a way to break through by themselves." ”
