Chapter 284: Sweeping the Southeast

Hu Ke, chief of the general staff of the Southeast Military Region, soon became a reality, and after the troops under Su Yi took over the entire Qingzhou, they immediately divided into three routes and entered Mengzhou, Yangzhou, and Hunzhou, which were adjacent to Qingzhou.

However, several army units of the Southeast Military Region stationed in these three prefectures, as well as some army reserve units temporarily formed, did not resist at all in accordance with the orders of the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region, and changed their banners one after another, and finally let the army units under Su Yi take over Mengzhou, Yangzhou, and Hunzhou among the sixteen southeastern prefectures without firing a single shot.

After that, the army units under Su Yi still did not stop, and continued to send troops to other states and counties in the southeast region, because of Su Yi's money offensive against the senior generals of the Southeast Military Region, so that the mechanized infantry divisions, light infantry divisions and armored tank brigades stationed in the states and counties of the Southeast Military Region were successively counterattacked, and as of the end of December of 1672 in the Han calendar, most of the sixteen states in the southeast had been controlled by Su Yi.

Only Zizhou and Yingzhou, as well as parts of Ruzhou and Qianzhou, were still under the control of the so-called headquarters of the Southeast Military Region, and at this time, the troops in the hands of He Jianbin and Hu Ke were only three mechanized infantry divisions, 14 light infantry divisions, three armored tank brigades, and 22 hastily formed reserve infantry divisions.

The establishment of the reserve infantry division is about 15,000 people, and it is only equipped with some light weapons and a small amount of artillery, and there is a very big gap in combat effectiveness compared with the regular army of the Southeast Military Region.

In addition, one of the three air divisions subordinate to the Southeast Military Region directly surrendered to Su Yi, and the remaining two air divisions have less than 50 fighters that can still be lifted into the air to fight, and most of them are third-generation fighters.

Although the Southeast Military Region, which is the enemy of Su Yi, has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, the situation is already very bad, and even the high-level leaders of the Southeast Military Region actually understand in their hearts that Su Yi's seizure of the 16 Southeast Prefectures and the entire Southeast Military Region is already unstoppable, and now the Southeast Military Region is still insisting, mainly the two bigwigs of the Southeast Military Region, He Jianbin and Chief of General Staff Hu Ke, are still negotiating conditions with Su Yi.

On the evening of December 29, 1672 in the Han calendar, in a small building in Zhengtai City, the capital of Zizhou Prefecture of the Han Kingdom, the commander-in-chief He Jianbin with a haggard face, said to the chief of the general staff Hu Ke: "Today, the 20th Mechanized Infantry Division stationed in Huangwu County, Dingzhou, also chose to surrender, so that the entire Dingzhou is equivalent to falling into the hands of Su Yi. The rest of the place has been occupied by the army troops under Su Yi's command. ”

The face of the chief of the general staff, Hu Ke, was also very haggard, after all, for more than a month, he had hardly received a single piece of good news, every day either any unit surrendered to Su Yi, or that place was captured by the army troops under Su Yi's command.

Hook sighed and said: "Commander-in-chief, as of today, our Southeast Military Region has nine mechanized infantry divisions, thirty-eight light infantry divisions, seven armored tank brigades and sixty-eight reserve infantry divisions, which have taken refuge on Su Yi's side, and these troops have basically not fought with the army units under Su Yi's command, and the generals of these troops have been bought by Su Yi. Su Yi seized most of the southeast region almost without bloodshed. ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin said with a wry smile: "I never thought that the situation would become so bad, if you count the 90 reserve infantry divisions that were urgently mobilized, the total strength of our Southeast Military Region can reach 2.8 million, but it has only been a long time, and there are more than 2 million army troops who have chosen to surrender to Su Yi. ”

Hook immediately hesitated and said: "Commander-in-chief, now that the matter is over, we can only choose to compromise with Su Yi, even if most of the generals of the remaining troops of our Southeast Military Region have contact with Su Yi, after a while, maybe we will not even have the qualifications to negotiate conditions with Su Yi." ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin sighed and said: "It's really unwilling! Chief of General Staff, what conditions did Su Yi give before? ”

Hu Ke immediately said: "Su Yi is willing to give the two of us a compensation of 100 million Han Yuan each, but the two of us will not be able to lead troops in the future, the division commanders of each division and the brigade commander of the armored tank brigade will each receive 20 million Han Yuan, and the officers at all levels below will also get a lot of money according to their ranks." ”

He Jianbin smiled bitterly again, "Su Yi is very wealthy, such conditions are really exciting, and it is no wonder that those generals of our Southeast Military Region, and even many of our two henchmen, will be easily bought by Su Yi." ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke said gloomily: "Su Yi controls air supremacy in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of the army units under his command is also very strong, Su Yi is equivalent to holding a big stick in one hand and money in the other, and it is not surprising that the troops of our Southeast Military Region have surrendered on a large scale." ”

He Jianbin said with a slight sigh: "Although we still have a lot of troops in our hands, there is no point in continuing to go hard, not to mention that the vast majority of generals should not accompany the two of us all the way to the dark, and the two of us don't seem to have any other choice." ”

Time soon came to the Han calendar in 1673, and on the first day of the New Year, Su Yi received a New Year's gift package from the system, which contained a diamond treasure chest.

After Su Yi opened this diamond treasure chest, eight new cards suddenly appeared in the item warehouse, one of which was a low-level amplification card.

Chinese Type 83 122mm cannon howitzer (unit price 2 million yuan, limited to 2,000 units per year) (can be upgraded +).

Chinese Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer (unit price 3.5 million yuan, limited to 2,000 units per year) (upgradeable +).

Chinese Type 89 122mm self-propelled howitzer (unit price of 5 million yuan, limited to 2,000 units per year) (can be upgraded +).

Chinese Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer (unit price 7 million yuan, limited to 2,000 units per year) (upgradeable +).

Chinese Type 03 300mm multiple rocket launchers (unit price of 8 million yuan, limited to 2,000 units per year) (can be upgraded +).

Chinese Type 69 main battle tank (unit price 8 million yuan, limited to 1,600 units per year) (upgrade+).

American M60 main battle tank (unit price of 10 million yuan, limited to 1,600 units per year) (can be upgraded+).

The Chinese Type 83 122 mm cannon howitzer, with a rate of fire of seven to eight rounds per minute, a maximum range of 15,600 meters, and a minimum range of 3,750 meters, the gun is mainly used to kill and injure living forces, blast field fortifications, support infantry and tank combat operations, suppress and annihilate combat firearms and baggage vehicles, and also open up access roads in minefields.

China's Type 66 152 mm cannon howitzer, a cannon imitated from the former Soviet Union's D-20 Type 152 mm cannon howitzer, has a rate of fire of six to eight rounds per minute, a maximum range of 17,404 meters, and a minimum range of 4,400 meters, mainly used to suppress and annihilate the enemy's vivid forces and artillery weapons and other equipment, as well as to destroy enemy field fortifications and destroy enemy armored targets.

For both of the above-mentioned cannon howitzers, the system equips them with towed trucks.

China's Type 89 122 mm self-propelled howitzer is equipped with a water-cooled supercharged diesel engine, with a maximum power of 450 horsepower, a highway speed of 60 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 500 kilometers, an artillery firing speed of six to eight rounds per minute, a total of 40 rounds of ammunition in the bomb bay in the vehicle, a maximum range of 21,000 kilometers, and a minimum range of 3,700 meters.

The Chinese Type 83 152 mm self-propelled howitzer, with a road speed of 60 kilometers per hour, 30 kilometers per hour in off-road conditions, and a maximum range of 420 kilometers, in addition to being equipped with a rifled gun of 152 mm caliber, is also equipped with a 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun, which can be used to fire at enemy air targets and lightly armored targets on the ground, the maximum range of the machine gun is 7 kilometers, the effective range of air targets is 1,600 meters, the rifled gun fire rate is three to four rounds per minute, and the maximum firing range is 30,000 meters.

China's Type 03 300 mm multiple rocket launchers, with 12 launch tubes, divided into upper, middle and lower three rows of layout into a zigzag arrangement, self-weight 21 tons, load 22 tons, can carry 12 rockets, when fully loaded, the maximum speed on the highway should reach 60 kilometers per hour, a refueling trip is not less than 650 kilometers, the maximum range of the rocket is 150 kilometers.

The two cannon howitzers, two self-propelled howitzers, and one multiple rocket launcher that were fired this time suddenly enabled the army units under Su Yi to have more large-caliber artillery.

The two main battle tanks that were opened were already available in the system mall of the world here in the Han Kingdom, and with these two cards, the number of Type 69 main battle tanks and M60 main battle tanks that Su Yi could buy every year in the future will increase to 2,000.

Su Yi immediately bought all the two cannon howitzers, two self-propelled howitzers, one multiple rocket launcher and two main battle tanks that he could buy, and prepared to allocate them all to the army units under his command as soon as possible.

The low-level amplification card that was issued was used by Su Yi on the army-type combat clones, and the number of purchases per month was suddenly increased from 10,000 to 40,000.

In this way, in terms of the army alone, Su Yi can buy 40,000 army-type combat clones and 160,000 army-type primary combat cyborgs from the system every month.

In the new year, the purchase limit of various warships and fighters in the system mall has been updated, and Su Yi immediately bought all the warships and fighters that could be purchased and put them in the system's goods warehouse.

Previously, because of the capture of most of the southeast region, the air force under Su Yi also had many military airports in the southeast region, so Su Yi took out all the F-16 fighters and F-15 fighters stored in the system goods warehouse, so that the current air force under Su Yi has more than 800 F-16 fighters and more than 800 F-15 fighters, some of which are captured by the Han Air Force.

Su Yi only took out a small part of the F-14A fighters and F/A-18C Hornet fighters stored in the system goods warehouse before, and supplemented the losses of the twelve aircraft carriers.

Early in the morning of January 1, 1673 in the Han calendar, after buying all the fighters that could be purchased, there were 990 F-14A fighters, 990 F/A-18C Hornet fighters, 800 F-16 fighters and 800 F-15 fighters in the system's inventory.

Now the air force in Su Yi's hands is enough to crush the entire Han Air Force, so Su Yi is not ready to increase the number of fourth-generation fighters of the Air Force under his command for the time being.

After buying all the warships that could be purchased, the number of Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers and Forrestal-class aircraft carriers in the system's inventory became sixteen, the number of Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers increased to thirty-two, and the number of Canglong-class conventional submarines, Burke-class missile destroyers, and Type 901 integrated supply ships increased to sixty-four.

In the process of seizing the sixteen states in the southeast, the role of the navy was not great, and the air force under Su Yi obtained air supremacy, so that the carrier-based aircraft of the twelve aircraft carriers did not perform several missions, so Su Yi did not rush to extract the warships in the system goods warehouse and expand the strength of the navy under his command.

On the afternoon of January 1, 1673 in the Han calendar, news came from the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region in Zhengtaicheng, the capital of Zizhou Prefecture, that He Jianbin and Hu Ke, chief of the General Staff, on behalf of the remaining three mechanized infantry divisions, 14 light infantry divisions, three armored tank brigades, 22 reserve infantry divisions and two air force divisions of the Southeast Military Region, announced that they would accept Su Yi's leadership and recognize Su Yi as the new commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region.

Shortly after He Jianbin and Hu Ke, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, announced their surrender to Su Yi, the 13th Aircraft Carrier Fleet of the Dahan Navy, stationed in Lanshan Port in Zizhou, also announced that it would accept the leadership of Su Yi, the new commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region.

The Lanshan Port in Zizhou is the second largest military port in the Han Kingdom, and after the five aircraft carrier fleets originally stationed in Lanshan Port were controlled by the clone soldiers under Su Yi's command, the five aircraft carrier fleets sailed away from Lanshan Port and have been operating in the waters near Lanshan Port.

The 13th aircraft carrier fleet of the Han Navy is composed of one aircraft carrier, one missile cruiser and one missile destroyer captured by the Gothic Navy, plus four missile frigates, two submarines and two supply ships of the former Han Navy.

After Su Yi dispatched troops to the sixteen southeastern states, due to Su Yi's huge influence in the Han Navy and the threat of the five aircraft carrier fleets in the waters near Lanshan Port, the 13th Aircraft Carrier Fleet of the Han Navy immediately declared its neutrality.

In this duel between the Southeast Military Region and the army under Su Yi, the 13th aircraft carrier fleet of the Han Navy has not participated in it, and now the victory and defeat have been divided, and the 13th aircraft carrier fleet of the Han Navy has immediately returned to Su Yi's command.
