Chapter 60: The Oriental Meat Grinder

More than 100 warships and dozens of transports of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire stationed in the port of Ambo left the port of Ambo on the afternoon of the arrival of the independent fleet, preparing to rush to another military port of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire.

After the fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire left, the other four battleship formations of the independent fleet, as well as six light cruisers and twelve destroyers, all entered the port of Ambo.

In the evening, the 200,000 officers and soldiers of the Su family army on dozens of transport ships also began to board the dock of Anbo Port one after another, and in the evening, the 200,000 officers and soldiers of the Su family army all entered the temporary military camp built with the help of the Purple Moon Empire, and at the same time, a marine brigade of the Su Family Army, with the cooperation of the Purple Moon Empire army, took over all the facilities of Anbo Port, including more than 30 batteries and a shipyard in Anbo Port, so far the entire Anbo Port has been completely controlled by the Su Army.

The shipyard in Port Amber is not small, with six 30,000-ton docks, six 20,000-ton docks, six 15,000-ton docks, and 30 small docks of less than 3,000 tons.

Because of the funds and the war, the two dreadnought battleships under construction in the two 30,000-ton docks, as well as the warships under construction in several other docks, have all been suspended, but most of the workers in the shipyard are still there, and the Purple Moon Empire promised Su Yi that the Anbo Port Shipyard can maintain the warships of the independent fleet for free.

That night, Su Yi quietly bought all the 25,000 army-type primary combat biochemical personnel and 48,000 navy-type primary combat biochemical personnel that had not been purchased in August and September, and embodied them in reality.

The goods in the system mall, only the limited number of cyborgs can be accumulated, such as army-type primary combat biocyclics, the monthly purchase limit is 12,500, Su Yi did not buy army-type primary combat biochemical in August, and in September, Su Yi can buy 25,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people in one go.

As for the other commodities in the system mall, they cannot be accumulated, but the system's item warehouse is almost infinite, and Su Yi can completely buy the monthly limit of other commodities first, store them in the item warehouse, and then withdraw them to the real world when needed.

The day after Su Yi came to Anbo Port, that is, on September 26, 3011 in the Tang Dynasty, the Purple Moon Empire sent 50,000 recruits to Su Yi, and in the next two days, the other 250,000 recruits that the Purple Moon Empire promised to give Su Yi also came to the military camp near Anbo Port.

On October 1, Su Yi purchased another 12,500 army-type primary combat biochemical personnel and 24,000 navy-type primary combat biochemical personnel from the system, and by October 3, the Su family army had four guards infantry brigades, eighteen field infantry brigades, and seven marine brigades in the Purple Moon Empire.

Among them, sixteen field infantry brigades were newly formed, and Su Yi sent a total of almost 20,000 cyborgs to these sixteen newly formed field infantry brigades as officers and backbones, but the 300,000 recruits sent to Su Yi by the Purple Moon Empire were all farmers and workers who had never undergone military training, so Su Yi was not ready to send the sixteen newly formed field infantry brigades to the battlefield for the time being.

On the morning of October 4, the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Guards Infantry Brigade of the Su Family Army rushed to Ziyue City, the capital of the Purple Moon Empire, by road and rail, respectively, to join the defense of Purple Moon City, which was called the meat grinder of the East by various newspapers.

On the night of October 4, in an underground fortification in the north of Purple Moon City, Ouyang Qian, the second princess of the Purple Moon Empire, said in a deep voice to more than 30 army generals: "During the day today, we lost two more blocks, we must take back these two blocks tonight, which of you is willing to lead the troops to launch a counterattack?" ”

As soon as the second princess Ouyang Qian's words fell, a young army general said loudly: "Second princess, since these two blocks were lost from our 16th Division, then our 16th Division will definitely take those two blocks back from the hands of the Gisk army tonight!" ”

Second Princess Ouyang Qian shook her head and said: "The Sixteenth Division has been at the forefront in the past few days, and now there are less than 7,000 people left. ”

At this time, Ouyang Wan, the third princess next to her, sighed and said: "Commander of the Wei Division, my sister and I both know that the Sixteenth Division has done its best, and it was occupied by the Jisk army for two blocks during the day, no wonder you Sixteenth Division, in addition, I discussed it with my sister, and I am ready to temporarily let the Sixteenth Division retreat to the suburbs to rest and recuperate, and replenish the sixteenth Division with five thousand recruits, of course, the weapons can only rely on Viscount Wei himself." ”

Wei Tianqing, the division commander of the Sixteenth Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, smiled bitterly and said: "Second Princess, Third Princess, among the thirty-two infantry divisions and regiments gathered in Purple Moon City now, which one of them is not a heavy loss, tonight's counterattack is still for our sixteenth division!" ”

The Purple Moon Empire Army canceled the establishment of the corps many years ago, and the largest establishment of the Purple Moon Empire Army at present is the division and regiment, each division has four infantry wings, an artillery wing, an engineer brigade, a cavalry brigade, a baggage wing and a division headquarters, with a total strength of about 50,000 people.

The Purple Moon Empire's army has successively invested a total of thirty-two infantry divisions and regiments in Purple Moon City, and has supplemented these thirty-two infantry divisions many times during this period, but now these thirty-two divisions and regiments add up, and there are only less than 600,000 people left.

So far, the Purple Moon Empire's army has lost more than 1.4 million casualties in the defense of Purple Moon City, and more than 200,000 wounded who have been unable to continue the battle.

At this time, another young division commander spoke: "Second princess, third princess, tonight's counterattack, leave it to our 29th Division!" After three days of rest and recuperation, our 29th Division has recovered to 21,000 combatants, more than 10,000 rifles, and more than 40 light and heavy machine guns. ”

The thirty-two division commanders in this underground fortification, many of them are young people, the main defense of Purple Moon City was too cruel, some divisions, division commanders have changed several times, and now most of the thirty-two division commanders are promoted by the second princess Ouyang Qian and the third princess Ouyang Wanxin.

The second princess Ouyang Qian immediately turned her head to look at the third princess Ouyang Wan, and the third princess Ouyang Wan nodded slightly, so the second princess Ouyang Qian said categorically: "Then the task of counterattacking tonight will be handed over to the 29th Division!" ”

"Second Princess, Third Princess, in the past two days, the Gisk Empire seems to have increased its troops to Purple Moon City again, should you let Her Majesty the Empress send some more troops to Purple Moon City? It doesn't matter if you send in some new soldiers! Gong Qiu, the division commander of the Second Division of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, said to the two princesses with a bitter face.

Gong Qiu is the honorary viscount of the Purple Moon Empire, he has been the division commander of the second division of the Royal Army for more than ten years, and he is also one of the only three honorary nobles among the thirty-two division commanders in Purple Moon City, and the other twenty-nine division commanders are all promoted by the line of fire, and the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire has not yet awarded them honorary titles.

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, sighed and said: "Uncle Gong, now the battle lines in the north and east of the empire are very tight, and the War Department really can't draw troops to support Purple Moon City, but the baron named Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire has arrived at Ambo Port with a fleet and 200,000 troops, and the army under the command of Baron Su will soon come to support us." ”
