Zhang Shi's unintentional words turned into a reality, and Lindancheng, the capital of Lixing Province, suddenly became a hard bone to gnaw after a Noomi Royal Army Infantry Division under the cover of mercenaries was stationed.

The 101st Field Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, which attacked Lindancheng, attacked Lindancheng for three consecutive days, but did not even enter the urban area of Lindancheng, but lost more than 8,000 people.

The 87th Field Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, which then rushed to support, took over the 101st Field Infantry Division, and stormed Lindan City for three days, although it finally entered the urban area of Lindan City, but the 87th Field Infantry Division also lost more than 9,000 people in three days, and as the troops entered the city, the loss speed of the 87th Field Infantry Division accelerated a lot.

The 101st Field Infantry Division, which had rested for three days, was also ordered to join the street fighting in the city at this time, fighting side by side with the 87th Field Infantry Division, but the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire still did not occupy much advantage in Lindan City.

On the morning of March 26, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, He Yunfei reported to Su Yi: "Marshal, at present, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire has eleven field infantry divisions into the country of Hele, and basically occupied the province of Xifeng, Feiting and Pochao of the country of Hele, and several field infantry divisions that have captured the three border provinces of the country of Heller are continuing to march to several provinces in the hinterland of the country of Hele, only in the border province of Lixing, Our Royal Army of the Tang Empire has encountered a little trouble, and now the main forces of the 87th Field Infantry Division and the 101st Field Infantry Division are still blocked in Lindancheng, the provincial capital of Lixing Province, and now the two field infantry divisions together have lost more than 20,000 people in Lindancheng. ”

Su Yi frowned slightly, "Isn't there only one infantry division of the Noomi Army in Lindan City?" Could it be that the combat effectiveness of Noomi's army is really that strong? ”

"Marshal, in Lindancheng, the infantry division of the Noomi Army, the combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, but in addition to the infantry division of the Noomi Army in Lindancheng, there are also three standing infantry divisions of the Heller Army, with a total strength of 200,000, these three standing divisions of the Heller Army, under the influence of the infantry division of the Noble Army, the will to fight has become much more tenacious, if there is only one infantry division of the Helli Army, Lindancheng had long been defeated by the 87th Field Infantry Division and the 101st Field Infantry Division. ”

Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Lindan City is the north gate to Hele City, the capital of Hele Country, after capturing Lindan City, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire can go all the way north and take the heart of Hele Country, and now which field infantry division is rushing to Lindan City?" ”

He Yunfei said: "Marshal, the 65th Field Infantry Division will be able to arrive outside Lindan City about tomorrow, but according to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, there are three hastily formed infantry corps in the Heller Army, which are rushing to Lindan City, and they will be able to reach Lindan City about the day after tomorrow, so it will be very difficult for our Royal Army of the Tang Empire to take Lindan City as soon as possible." ”

Su Yi frowned and said: "The speed at which the country of Hele has formed an army is quite fast, how long has it been since three newly built infantry regiments have been made, except for the sixty-fifth field infantry division, how long will it take for the other field infantry divisions to arrive in Lindan City?" ”

He Yunfei said with a wry smile: "Marshal, the railway network of Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province is not developed, and the railways in the territory of Hele Country have been damaged, so it restricts the speed of troop transportation of our Royal Army of the Tang Empire. ”

Su Yi thought about it for a moment and said: "You can't delay too much time in Lindan City, according to the mobilization ability of Hele Country, the longer you delay in Lindan City, the more new troops will be formed by Hele Country, haven't all the airship troops already entered Yuanxi Province to stand by?" The fighters and bombers equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire are the killer weapon in our hands, and there is no need to use the killer weapon to deal with a small Heller country, but it is time for the airship force to appear, and it is best to focus the attention of the world's powerful countries on the airship, so that the world's powerful countries continue to ignore the role of aircraft! ”

He Yunfei's eyes lit up, "Dashuai's idea is good, I think I can let the airship troops go out now to bomb the three Heller Infantry Legions that are rushing to Lindan City!" ”

Su Yi then asked He Yunfei, "Yunfei, how do you think we should deal with the fact that the Noomi Empire has renamed its army as mercenaries?" ”

He Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Marshal, it seems that the Noomi Empire does not want to start a full-scale war with our Su Family's army, and hopes to fight without declaring it, but I think it can be as the Noomi Empire wishes, anyway, our Su Family's army has never thought of a full-scale war with the Noomi Empire." ”

Su Yi thought about it for a while and said: "That's fine, anyway, the Noomi Empire shouldn't have time to send too many troops into the Hele Kingdom, there are only more than three months left for the enthronement ceremony, I hope that before the enthronement ceremony is held, the Hele Kingdom can be solved and twelve provinces will be added to the Tang Empire!" ”

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of 27 March, on the plain more than 80 kilometers north of Lindancheng, the capital of Lihang Province, countless officers and men of the Heller Army gathered into dozens of torrents and were advancing in the direction of Lindancheng.

In a car among the officers and soldiers of the Heller's army, Liu Zhu, the commander of the newly formed Fifth Regiment of the Royal Heller's Army, said to Luo Hao, the commander of the Heller's army, in a deep voice: "Commander, in fact, there is no need for you to rush to Lindan City in person, I heard that most of the peripheral fortifications of Lindan City have been lost, even if our three infantry legions arrive in Lindan City, it will be a bitter battle, in case you are on the battlefield...... Your subordinates feel that you should still stay in Heller and command the entire Royal Heller Army. ”

Army Chief Luo Hao sighed at this time and said: "Now that our Royal Army of Heller has been completely defeated on other fronts, Lindan City is the key to the survival of our Heller Country, according to the terrain around Heller City, as long as our Royal Army of Heller can hold Lindan City, the Su family army will not be able to attack Heller City in a short time, in this way, it will give us more time for Heller, so that our Royal Heller Army can arm more reserves and form more new infantry corps, It is no longer useful for me, the chief minister, to stay in Hele City, and Lindan City is the place where I should stay the most, which is also what Your Majesty meant. ”

As soon as the commander of the newly formed Fifth Legion, Liu Zhu, heard what Emperor Yu Yuan meant, and immediately changed the topic, "Commander, the army of the Noomi Empire is indeed strong in combat, I don't know how many more land forces the Noomi Empire can send into our country to fight?" ”

Army Chief Luo Hao shook his head and said helplessly: "After all, the Noomi Empire is too far away from our Hele Country, and it will take two months at the earliest for the Noomi Empire's army to have an infantry legion arrive in our Hele Country." ”

Liu Zhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chief, can we hold out until the arrival of that infantry legion of the Noomi Empire?" ”

Army Chief Luo Hao let out a long sigh and said: "We can only do our best, as for the result, it can only depend on God's arrangement." ”

As soon as the words of the army chief Luo Hao fell, suddenly there was a huge commotion outside the car, Luo Hao immediately asked the driver to stop the car, and when Luo Hao and Liu Zhu, the commander of the newly formed Fifth Legion, walked out of the car together, the faces of the two people suddenly showed a look of horror, and they shouted two words in unison: "Airship!" ”

The more than 100 behemoths that appeared in the sky in the distance were the airship units of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, which consisted of one hundred and twenty medium-sized airships and forty large airships.

In order to bomb the three infantry regiments of the Heller's army, 160 airships were loaded with 100 kg and 200 kg of aerial bombs, of which each medium airship was loaded with 50 tons of aerial bombs, each large airship was loaded with 180 tons of aerial bombs, and each airship was also loaded with a large number of ammunition used in the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun.

The hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Royal Heller Army who were marching on the plains were immediately baptized by more than 13,000 tons of aerial bombs, and this is not the end, the 160 airships of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire bullied the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Heller Army without air defense weapons, and used the MG-42 general-purpose machine guns installed on the airships to continuously strafe the officers and soldiers of the Royal Heller Army who were chaotic on the ground.

After the 160 airships of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire left, the plains within a radius of dozens of kilometers were already covered with the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the Royal Heller Army, including the corpse of Luo Hao, the commander of the Heller Army.

According to incomplete statistics, in the debut of the airship unit of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, almost 300,000 of the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Heller Army were directly killed, more than 100,000 were wounded, and the remaining 400,000 or so were almost all scattered and fled.

The three infantry corps newly formed by the Heller Kingdom finally used the reserves, and they were blown up by the airship unit of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire without even playing a role.

After Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Heller Kingdom, learned that the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Royal Army of Heller had been blown up and collapsed by more than 100 airships that suddenly appeared in the Su family's army, he only said with a pale face, "Regret not being at the beginning!" ”
