Chapter 310: Tug of War

"Boom-boom-" Dense shells continued to fall on the streets that had become ruins, splashing a large amount of rubble, mixed with many stumps and broken arms.

The brutal street fighting has made many places in Yueyang City full of corpses of officers and soldiers on both sides, but fortunately, the temperature in Yueyang City is very low now, and the warmest time of the day is about minus six or seven degrees.

Otherwise, with so many corpses in Yueyang City, the armies of both sides would not have had time to collect the burials, and perhaps a plague would have broken out in Yueyang City long ago, turning Yueyang City into a real dead city.

This piece of the street, located in the eastern city of Yueyang City, has been repeatedly fought over many times by the defenders of the Great Qin State and the army of the Ice Lion State, and this time it was the turn of the Great Qin army to become the attacking side.

When the artillery fire weakened a little, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army launched an attack from a distance, but in this ruin, many officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion State who survived the dense artillery fire suddenly appeared, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army who rushed up started a fierce battle.

Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the provisional 5th Division, who was holding a telescope, put down the telescope and said in a deep voice to Xing Yuantao, the deputy division commander beside him: "After recapturing Tiexin Street, let the 5th Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Battalion immediately re-establish their positions, this time we must hold Tiexin Street, this block has been lost three times in the hands of our provisional 5th Division, if I can't hold it anymore, I won't have to meet the commander." ”

Now the time has reached February 12, 2538 in the divine calendar, more than 20 days have passed since Su Yi served as the city defense commander of Yueyang City, and the tragic street battles in Yueyang City are still continuing.

In more than 20 days, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom not only did not completely capture the urban area of Yueyang City, but was recaptured by the army under Su Yi some of the blocks that were previously occupied by the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, making the defense of Yueyang City far from the end.

You must know that in the original many newspapers of the Ice Lion Country, it was advocated that the Ice Lion Kingdom army would only need one month to defeat Yueyang City, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, and now it has been more than two months since the Ice Lion Kingdom army launched an attack on Yueyang City.

Su Yi has a total of three provisional armies in his hands, although because of the battle in Yueyang City, Su Yi has not had time to establish and improve the regular establishment of the three temporary armies, but he also temporarily gave the three temporary armies, and each set up three temporary divisions, but did not set up a military headquarters for the three temporary armies, and the current nine temporary divisions are directly under the command of the city defense command.

Zhou Jianmin turned out to be the commander of the provisional 5th Division of the Great Qin Army, and he and the other four division commanders did not leave Yueyang City by transport plane, and then all five of them were appointed by Su Yi as the division commanders of the troops under his command, and Zhou Jianmin was still the commander of the provisional 5th Division.

At present, Su Yi does not have a brigade level or a regimental level, and each provisional division has 20 infantry battalions, a reconnaissance battalion, five air defense battalions, five artillery battalions and three logistics battalions, and the initial strength of each battalion has almost reached more than 1,300 people, and the establishment and armament of each battalion are almost exactly the same as those of the previous independent divisions.

According to Su Yi's order, the nine provisional divisions absorbed a large number of young men in Yueyang City, plus the remaining officers and soldiers in Yueyang City, and the strength under Su Yi's command once swelled to nearly 400,000.

However, in the fierce battle of more than 20 days, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom continued to increase the intensity of its attacks, making the street battles in Yueyang City more and more tragic, even if Su Yi almost replenished the men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-eight in Yueyang City to the various temporary divisions under his command, the strength of the army under Su Yi's command dropped to 330,000 at this time.

In addition, in order to resist the army of the Ice Lion Country, Su Yi organized all the civilians in Yueyang City who could take up arms, including women, teenage children and the elderly, anyway, the people in Yueyang City also knew in their hearts that once Yueyang City completely fell, it would be difficult for them, the ordinary people living in Yueyang City, to escape the slaughter of the Ice Lion Army, it was better to fight with the Ice Lion Army now, but there was still a chance to survive, after all, under the leadership of Su Yi, the battle situation in Yueyang City, the advantage was still on the side of the Great Qin Army.

Deputy Division Commander Xing Yuantao frowned and said to Division Commander Zhou Jianmin: "Old Zhou, the Fifth Infantry Battalion, Sixth Infantry Battalion and Seventh Infantry Battalion of our division have less than 800 people left before, and the three infantry battalions have to pay a lot of casualties if they want to recapture Tiexin Street, do you transfer the 19th Infantry Battalion or the 20th Infantry Battalion to Tiexin Street?" The two battalions, both of which have been replenished and are numbering around 1,300 men, have been resting in recent days and have not taken part in the fighting. ”

Division Commander Zhou Jianmin pondered for a while and said: "The 19th Infantry Battalion and the 20th Infantry Battalion are the last reserves of our provisional 5th Division, and I am not ready to use them until the critical moment. By the way, the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion were ordered to provide continuous artillery support for the four infantry battalions guarding Tiexin Street as much as possible. ”

Deputy Division Commander Xing Yuantao nodded slightly, "The Fourth Infantry Battalion still has nearly a thousand troops, plus the Fifth Infantry Battalion, the Sixth Infantry Battalion and the Seventh Infantry Battalion, it will not be easy for the Ice Lion Country Army to recapture the Tiexin Street block from our provisional 5th Division this time, but it is a pity that the artillery battalions of our various provisional divisions are not equipped with artillery with a longer range, otherwise as long as the large-caliber artillery of the Ice Lion Army can be suppressed, maybe our three temporary armies have already driven the Ice Lion Army out of the urban area of Yueyang City." ”

At present, the artillery battalions under each provisional division under Su Yi are equipped with 108 M1897 75mm field guns, 54 M2 105mm howitzers, and 108 100mm mortars.

However, the M2 105mm howitzer, which has the longest range, has a range of only 11 kilometers, while the 150mm howitzer equipped by the artillery unit of the Ice Lion Country can reach 18 kilometers.

Because the troops under Su Yi's command are equipped with a large number of single-man anti-aircraft missiles, the air force of the Ice Lion Country cannot control the air supremacy over Yueyang City at all, if the artillery unit under Su Yi's command can suppress the opponent's artillery troops, then the Ice Lion Country army will not be able to gain a foothold in Yueyang City at all.

The attack force of the provisional 5th Division quickly routed the remnants of the Ice Lion Army that held Tiexin Street and recaptured the neighborhood once again.

However, it didn't take long for the artillery shells of the Ice Lion Country to fall on this block of Tiexin Street one after another, and after a few minutes of shelling, hundreds of Lion soldiers of the Ice Lion Country launched a charge, trying to recapture this block of Tiexin Street.

This kind of tug-of-war has become the norm in Yueyang City, if the Great Qin army loses a block, it will immediately organize troops to recapture the lost block, and the Ice Lion Army will quickly mobilize troops to recapture this block at all costs.

The hundreds of lion soldiers who launched the charge, after losing most of them, had to retreat, and then the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom suddenly sent three or four thousand people to attack the provisional 5th Division troops stationed in the Tiexin Street neighborhood again.

However, to the surprise of the provisional 5th Division this time, the vast majority of the Ice Lion Country army that launched the charge were human soldiers.

After Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the provisional 5th Division, learned of this situation, he immediately reported to Su Yi, the commander of the city defense, and ordered all units of the provisional 5th Division, as long as they were enemies with weapons, whether they were orcs or humans, they must resolutely keep them out of their positions.

At the forward headquarters of the Ice Lion Kingdom army outside Yueyang City, the deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gru, said to the commander-in-chief, Marshal Kayano: "Of the twenty newly arrived garrison infantry divisions, three have already been put into the battlefield in the urban area of Yueyang City, and if necessary, the other seventeen garrison infantry divisions can also be put into Yueyang City at any time. ”

It turned out that the twenty Ice Lion Nation garrison infantry divisions that were newly transferred to Yueyang City were all ordinary garrison infantry divisions dominated by human soldiers, and human soldiers accounted for more than three-quarters of the twenty garrison infantry divisions.

Marshal Kayano sighed and said: "If it weren't for the big losses, I really didn't want to mobilize these twenty garrison infantry divisions to join the street battles in Yueyang City, after all, among these twenty garrison infantry divisions, human soldiers accounted for the majority, and with the experience of the 156th garrison infantry division, I was really a little uneasy about those human soldiers." ”

The 156th Garrison Infantry Division is the Ice Lion Country Garrison Infantry Division where the human soldiers revolted, and in the end, more than 15,000 human soldiers from the 156th Garrison Infantry Division joined Su Yi's command.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Army General Gru said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the Great Qin army to resist so tenaciously in Yueyang City, as of nine o'clock in the evening of February 11, our Ice Lion Army has killed more than 300,000 people in Yueyang City, and there are more than 100,000 wounded, and many troops are almost disabled." ”

At present, not counting the twenty Ice Lion Country garrison infantry divisions that have just arrived in Yueyang City, the Ice Lion Country army has already invested seventeen Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and twenty-six Garrison Infantry Divisions in the street battles in Yueyang City, with a total strength of more than one million, and the twenty-four garrison infantry divisions are all the main garrison infantry divisions composed of orcs, and their combat effectiveness is quite not weak.

Marshal Kayano shook his head helplessly and said, "It is precisely because the losses of the troops in the street fighting are too great that I have to transfer the twenty garrison infantry divisions over!" By the way, has the resume of Su Yi, the commander of the city defense of the Great Qin Garrison, been clarified? Which military academy did he graduate from in the Great Qin Army? ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Army General Gru said with some confusion: "Marshal, according to the information currently available, Su Yi, the commander of the city defense of the Great Qin Garrison, has not attended any military academy of the Great Qin State before at all, and Su Yi was only a clerk of a company of the Great Qin Army more than two months ago, and in the army of the Great Qin State, the clerk of the company will be equivalent to the squad leader." ”

At this time, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom already knew that the name of the supreme general of the defenders of the Great Qin State in Yueyang City was Su Yi, but the intelligence department of the Ice Lion Kingdom knew nothing about Su Yi's information.

Marshal Kayano frowned: "This is impossible, let the intelligence department continue to track down all the information of Su Yi, if a small squad leader of the Great Qin Kingdom can resist our Ice Lion Country's million-strong army, it is impossible for our Ice Lion Country army to occupy half of the Great Qin Country now." ”

After a pause, Marshal Cajano continued: "Let all newly arrived garrison infantry divisions strictly monitor the human soldiers to prevent those human soldiers from betraying, the matter of the 156th Garrison Infantry Division must not happen again, once the human soldiers are found to have signs of betrayal, they must be severely suppressed." ”

The incident of the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Country not only caused the Ice Lion Army to lose a garrison infantry division, but also caused turmoil in the Ice Lion Country because Marshal Callano asked the country to take extreme measures against the families of the human soldiers who participated in the uprising.

As more and more humans join this armed uprising, the scale of the armed rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, so that the army of the Ice Lion Country has to draw part of its forces to encircle and suppress the human rebels in the country.

When Su Yi learned that the human soldiers of the Ice Lion Country had also joined the battlefield of Yueyang City, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said to Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense: "The Ice Lion Country has been oppressing the human beings in the country, and this time the Ice Lion Country has mobilized human soldiers to join the battlefield of Yueyang City, maybe it is an opportunity for us, I feel that we can find a way to contact those human soldiers of the Ice Lion Country army." ”

After Su Yi became the commander of Yueyang City's city defense, Sun Guodong also rose to prominence, and was appointed by Su Yi as the deputy commander of Yueyang City's city defense, and Sun Guodong was also awarded the rank of major general by the Ministry of Defense of the Great Qin State, and Su Yi was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the Ministry of National Defense.

Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the city defense, nodded and said: "Commander, I think we can transfer those soldiers from the original 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Country Army in each division, and let them contact the human soldiers of the Ice Lion Country Army. ”

Su Yi said approvingly: "Old Sun, just do as you say, transfer the soldiers belonging to the 156th Garrison Infantry Division of the Ice Lion Country Army in each division, and find a way to guide the human soldiers of the other garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Country to break out into an uprising. ”
