Xinji Town is about thirty kilometers away from the urban area of Yueyang City, and the continuous sound of artillery in Xinji Town can also be faintly heard in the city of Yueyang City.

Yu Hongtu, the commander of the 48th Division of the Great Qin Army, after returning to Yueyang City, reported that Su Yi was preparing to snipe the Ice Lion Country army in Xinji Town with a group of routed troops, so Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of defense who stayed in Yueyang City, knew what was going on in Xinji Town.

When the artillery sound in the direction of Xinji Town disappeared, Vice Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling said to He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army beside him, with some emotion: "It seems that the temporary independent regiment of the 48th Division is finished, and the artillery fire on the side of Xinji Town has been sounding for more than four hours. ”

He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, sighed and said: "It's a pity, if Su Yi could have been discovered earlier, and then cultivated, our 16th Army can now add a tiger general, who can lead a group of routs to resist the attack of the Ice Lion Country army for more than four hours in Xinji Town, which can be regarded as a rare talent." ”

Vice Minister of Defense Zhao Zeling immediately twisted his stiff neck, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that the Ice Lion Country army has appeared in the east, west, and north directions of Yueyang City, it will be our turn to fight with the Ice Lion Country army." ”

He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, hesitated for a moment and said, "Minister, it's okay for me to stay here, you better leave Yueyang City quickly!" Once the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom cuts off the road to the south, it will be difficult to leave at that time, and the Zhao family can't do without your leadership. ”

The 16th Army belongs to the Zhao family faction of Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of national defense, and the sister of He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, is Zhao Zeling's concubine, and He Minghuan is also the confidant of Zhao Zeling, the head of the Zhao family.

Although the marriage law of the Great Qin State advocated the monogamous system, it did not oppose men taking concubines, and even introduced many laws to protect concubines and concubines' children.

In the Great Qin Kingdom, many rich and powerful men had several concubines.

Vice Minister of Defense Zhao Zeling shook his head and said: "Now that the defense of Yueyang City is about to begin, if I, the commander-in-chief who stayed in Yueyang City, escapes, then not only personally, but even the entire Zhao family will be spurned by the world." ”

He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, said with a wry smile: "Minister, at present, in addition to my 16th Army and the Fifth Army of the Liu family, the other 19 armies have only one division left, and these 19 divisions are seriously lacking, all of them add up to less than 150,000, even if my 16th Army and Fifth Army combined, there are only more than 40,000 people left, with this less than 200,000 remnants of the defeated generals, where can I hold Yueyang City?" Why did you stay in Yueyang City in the first place? It's a big pit that is hard to jump out of if you jump in! ”

Zhao Zeling, Vice Minister of National Defense, said categorically: "Although our Zhao family will support its own troops like other factions, but now the army of the Ice Lion Country has reached the capital of our Great Qin State, at this time, if all factions do not work hard, our Great Qin Kingdom, the only human country, will be wiped out, then this world will really become the world of those orcs, if I can exchange my death for the concerted efforts of all the forces of the Great Qin Country, it will be worth my death." ”

After the Ice Lion Kingdom invaded the Great Qin State, the reason why the army of the Great Qin State was defeated again and again had a lot to do with the factions of the Great Qin State's army.

There are often army units of the Great Qin State, seeing that the friendly army is in danger, and they are unwilling to send troops to rescue, just because the friendly army in trouble is not the army of their own faction, as for the battlefield, the armies of various factions are pulling back between each other, and there are even more.

He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, saw Zhao Zeling's resolute attitude, so he did not persuade Zhao Zeling to leave Yueyang City, "Minister, I, He Minghuan, am willing to accompany you and live and die with Yueyang City!" However, there are at least 2.5 million ordinary people in the urban area of Yueyang City, and if the artillery of the Ice Lion Country uses large-caliber artillery to carry out a covering artillery bombardment on the urban area of Yueyang City, it will definitely cause a large number of civilian casualties. ”

Zhao Zeling, Vice Minister of National Defense, said with some helplessness on his face: "The army of the Ice Lion Country will definitely use large-caliber artillery to carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of the entire urban area of Yueyang City, but those lion people have never taken into account the casualties of the civilians of our Great Qin State, and even the army of the Ice Lion Country has also carried out massacres of our Great Qin Country in an organized manner many times, and the blood debt makes us no longer have any illusions about the Ice Lion Country." ”

After a pause, Zhao Zeling continued: "Try to organize as many people as possible to withdraw from Yueyang City, and then organize the civilians who remain in the urban area of Yueyang City, distribute weapons and ammunition, instead of waiting to be slaughtered by the army of the Ice Lion Country, it is better to fight with the army of the Ice Lion Country, this can also solve some of the problems of insufficient strength of our defenders, we must turn Yueyang City into a meat grinder of the Army of the Ice Lion Country as much as possible." ”

Early in the morning of December 10, 2537, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom mobilized hundreds of fighters, 12 divisions of the Praetorian Guard, and 16 divisions of the garrison to launch an attack on the Great Qin Army on the positions outside the Yueyang City from the east, west, and north directions of Yueyang City, thus a world-shattering Yueyang City defense battle began.

Due to the absolute superiority of the Ice Lion Army in terms of artillery troops, armored troops, and air force units, the defenders of Yueyang City did not intend to be too entangled with the Ice Lion Army in their positions outside the city.

The army of the Ice Lion Country had long expected this situation, and immediately launched an indiscriminate shelling and bombardment of the urban area of Yueyang City, and one after another of the houses and buildings became piles of ruins in the shelling of the Ice Lion Country's army.

Su Yi, who was asleep, was also awakened by the sound of explosions coming from the direction of Yueyang City.

Su Yi passed through the telescope, although he couldn't see the specific situation of Yueyang City thirty kilometers away, but from the telescope, Su Yi could vaguely see the dense Ice Lion Country fighters over Yueyang City.

Su Yi put down the binoculars and said in a deep voice to Sun Guodong, the deputy head of the Independent Regiment beside him: "It seems that the attack of the Ice Lion Kingdom army on the Yueyang City City has begun, I don't know if the troops left behind in the Yueyang City City can hold the capital of our Great Qin State?" ”

Deputy Regiment Commander Sun Guodong said a little gloomily: "The overall weaponry and fighting will of our Great Qin State army are much worse than those of the Ice Lion Country army, unless the troops left in Yueyang City are equipped with the weapons and equipment of our independent regiment, and have the fighting will of our independent regiment, otherwise it is not easy to hold Yueyang City." ”

For Su Yi to come up with a large number of weapons and ammunition, even including a lot of very advanced weapons and equipment, deputy regiment commander Sun Guodong and many officers and soldiers of the independent regiment felt incredible, such as automatic rifles, single anti-tank missiles, single air defense missiles, but even the Ice Lion Army, which is known as the world's No. 1, is not equipped.

However, Su Yi only explained the origin of these weapons and ammunition that he purchased them through special channels, although this reluctant explanation made Sun Guodong and others still hard to believe, but seeing Su Yi who was unwilling to say a word more, Sun Guodong and others did not ask Su Yi to get to the bottom of it, in the case of possible death in battle at any time, more advanced weapons and equipment can greatly increase the chance of survival, as for the origin of these weapons and ammunition in Su Yi's hands, it is not so important.

Su Yi frowned and said: "If Yueyang City is lost, it will be a heavy blow to the army and people of our Great Qin State, and those politicians in the government may once again mention the matter of negotiating peace with the Ice Lion State." ”

Sun Guodong, the deputy head of the regiment, gritted his teeth and said: "Our Great Qin State has fallen to the point where it is today, most of the blame is on the politicians of the government, they are all good at making money in their pockets, but at the moment of crisis, they only think about groveling to the Ice Lion Country, if it weren't for the corruption of government departments, which has made the military expenses of our Great Qin State's navy, land and air force tight, and the weapons and equipment of our Great Qin State's navy, land and air force will not be so much worse than the Ice Lion Army." ”

Su Yi touched his chin at this time and said: "The matter of Yueyang City, let's put it aside, since the Ice Lion Country army has launched a general attack on the urban area of Yueyang City, then the Ice Lion Country army surrounding Xinji Town will inevitably not be too much, maybe we don't all have to die in Xinji Town." ”

Su Yi's words made the eyes of the deputy head Sun Guodong light up, "Commander, are you going to break through with the independent regiment?" ”

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "It's not so simple to break through, don't forget that there are more than 500 seriously injured brothers in Xinji Town, even if we want to break through, we can't abandon these more than 500 seriously injured brothers." ”

Deputy head Sun Guodong hurriedly nodded and said: "The head of the regiment is right, even if our independent regiment wants to break through, we will not leave a brother, just like the head of the regiment said, don't abandon or give up!" ”

Not abandoning or giving up is what Su Yi requires all officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment to do, and to their comrades-in-arms, no matter what the circumstances, they must also not abandon or give up.

It was precisely because of this sentence that the more than 3,000 seriously wounded who were originally abandoned in Xinji Town broke out with huge combat effectiveness when the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ice Lion Army attacked Xinji Town.

At the last moment, many of the seriously wounded pulled the grenades on their bodies and chose to die with the soldiers of the Ice Lion Nation army.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of more than 2,500 seriously wounded, perhaps Xinji Town would have been captured by the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ice Lion Army.

Now that there are only 460 officers and soldiers left in the entire independent regiment who can continue to fight, it is simply an impossible task to break out of the encirclement of the Ice Lion Country army with more than 500 seriously wounded, and how to bring more than 500 seriously wounded is a very headache.

Fortunately, Su Yi could also carry some things from the world of the Tang Empire and the Great Han Kingdom to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom, so Su Yi avoided Sun Guodong and the others, and carried four hundred military three-wheeled motorcycles through the Star Gate.

This military three-wheeled motorcycle is equipped by the Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty, and the sidecar can be separated from the two-wheeled motorcycle, otherwise Su Yi will not be able to carry this military three-wheeled motorcycle to Xinji Town, after all, the width of the Stargate is only one meter, and the entire military three-wheeled motorcycle cannot pass through the Stargate which is only one meter wide.

When the deputy head of the regiment, Sun Guodong, was stunned to see the four hundred military three-wheeled motorcycles that suddenly appeared, he couldn't help but ask Su Yi in shock: "The regiment ...... Commander, these ...... How did a three-wheeled motorcycle come about? ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "How these motorcycles came out is not the point, hurry up and let all the officers and soldiers of our independent regiment who can still move, learn how to drive motorcycles, if today's daytime, the army of the Ice Lion Country does not attack, and at night our independent regiment will break through at night, and the seriously wounded can sit in the sidecar, or fix behind the driver." ”

Sun Guodong was so relieved that he did not ask about the origin of the 400 military three-wheeled motorcycles, and immediately began to organize the officers and men of the independent regiment to learn how to drive these military three-wheeled motorcycles.

After yesterday's bloody battle in Xinji Town, the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ice Lion Army surrounded Xinji Town, the number of dead and missing exceeded 4,000, and there were only more than 5,000 people left in the entire mechanized infantry brigade.

Fortunately, the area of Xinji Town is not large, and the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which has more than 5,000 people left, is enough to surround Xinji Town, but before it is replenished, the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which is demoralized, is not able to launch a new round of offensive against Xinji Town.

At a little more than 10 o'clock in the evening of 10 December, the independent regiment of the 48th Division of the Daqin Army, which was surrounded in Xinji Town, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the troops of the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade stationed north of Xinji Town, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the 48th Division's Independent Regiment were all riding military three-wheeled motorcycles, and most of the military three-wheeled motorcycles also had Type 89 heavy machine guns mounted on their sideboards.

The troops of the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade stationed in the north of Xinji Town, most of them were already asleep at this time, and when the independent regiment of the 48th Division of the Great Qin Army launched an attack, the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade was immediately caught off guard.

Relying on the speed of military three-wheeled motorcycles and the powerful firepower of Type 89 heavy machine guns, the Independent Regiment of the 48th Division of the Daqin Army quickly tore through the defense line of the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade stationed north of Xinji Town, and hundreds of military three-wheeled motorcycles roared and disappeared into the night.

In this breakout operation, the independent regiment of the 48th Division of the Great Qin Army only lost less than 20 people, and six military three-wheeled motorcycles were blown up, while the troops of the 20th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ice Lion Country stationed north of Xinji Town added almost 100 casualties.
