Chapter 330: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves
Su Yi's interview was published on the front page of Daqin Daily on August 8, 2538 in the Divine Calendar, and because Daqin Daily has branches in various places, this article on Su Yi's interview spread throughout the Great Qin Kingdom in one day, causing a huge repercussion among the people.
In particular, Su Yi's sentence "Justice will eventually triumph over evil" has resonated with many people in Daqin, and the upsurge of joining the army in the area controlled by the Daqin Army has obviously increased a lot, and even the armed forces in the occupied areas that resist the rule of the Ice Lion State have become more and more active.
And on the third day of the interview, when the Ice Lion Kingdom was still focusing most of its attention on the Blood Wolf Country's invasion of the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the defenders of Yueyang City suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Ice Lion Kingdom army in the east.
Early in the morning of 10 August, more than 1,000 fighters of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force first launched an air attack on the Ice Lion Army east of Yueyang City.
Although the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force controlled the air supremacy over Yueyang City, it did not launch a relatively large-scale air attack on the Ice Lion State army gathered around Yueyang City.
On the one hand, it is due to the fact that the Ice Lion Country army around Yueyang City is equipped with a large number of air defense weapons, and on the other hand, it is to hide the strength of the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force, so as to give the Ice Lion Country army a ruthless blow, such as this air attack on the Ice Lion Kingdom army east of Yueyang City.
Due to the deliberate concealment of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force, the Ice Lion Country did not know how many fighters and bombers Su Yi currently had.
The group of planes launched by the independent division of the air force today in the first wave of air raids dispatched more than 700 Xiuniao fighters and more than 400 goshawk dive bombers, and these more than 1,000 fighters soon flew over the ice lion country's army station east of Yueyang City.
"Quick! Fire! Hurry up and shoot at enemy planes in the sky with anti-aircraft guns! ”
"Oh my God! How many planes are needed! ”
"Contact the Air Force immediately and have the Air Force send fighter jets to support!"
The dense Qin Air Force fighters in the sky immediately caused the Ice Lion Country army on the ground to immediately become chaotic, but under the pressure of the officers' bullets, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground quickly opened fire.
Then the scale of this air raid by the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force was too large, even if the anti-aircraft fire of the Ice Lion Country army on the ground was desperately firing, raindrops of bombs continued to fall in various camps of the Ice Lion Country army.
The fighter groups escorted by the independent division of the Daqin Air Force also attacked the air defense positions of the Ice Lion Army on the ground, interfering with the ground air defense fire to shoot at their own bombers.
The independent division of the Daqin Air Force dispatched a total of three waves of attack aircraft, of which the first and third waves were the same batch of fighters, and when the second wave of attack aircraft launched an air attack, three or four hundred fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force rushed over to support the Ice Lion Army on the ground.
It is a pity that several fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force are too different from the Xiuniao fighters of the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force in terms of performance in all aspects, and the three or four hundred fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force have hardly caused any trouble to the second wave of attack aircraft of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force, and they have been completely lost in the air battle with more than 600 Xiuniao fighters.
In the process of the third wave of attack aircraft of the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force launching an air attack on the camp of the Ice Lion Kingdom army east of Yueyang City, the fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force never appeared.
As soon as the three waves of air raids ended, the five tank regiments belonging to the Yueyang City Defense Command rushed towards the Ice Lion Kingdom army in the east of Yueyang City, and the five tank regiments were followed by infantry that could not be seen at a glance.
In the east of Yueyang City, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom deployed seven Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and ten garrison infantry divisions composed entirely of orcs, but in the face of the onslaught of five tank regiments and seven provisional divisions under Su Yi's command, it only lasted less than a day before the entire line collapsed.
The reason why Su Yi chose the east of Yueyang City for this counterattack was mainly because the east of Yueyang City was basically plain terrain, which was conducive to the operation of tank troops.
It was precisely because of the existence of more than 2,500 Type 69 main battle tanks of five tank regiments under Su Yi that this large-scale counterattack was like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and the seven Janissary Mechanized Infantry Divisions and ten garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Army in the east of Yueyang City collapsed in a short period of time.
There are very few officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion Country who can escape, and even more than 100,000 people were captured by the troops under Su Yi in one day, which is also the largest number of officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion Country Beast Clan captured by the army under Su Yi.
In the middle of the night of August 10, at the forward headquarters of the Ice Lion Nation army in the north outside Yueyang City, Marshal Kayano, with a gloomy face, said to Bode, the commander of the 7th Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Division, in a cold voice: "Seven Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions plus ten Garrison Infantry Divisions, but they didn't hold on for just one day, General Bode, can you give me an explanation?" ”
Bode, the commander of the 7th Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Division, was appointed by Marshal Kayano as the provisional commander of the Eastern Front, responsible for commanding seven Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and ten Garrison Infantry Divisions in the attack on the eastern city of Yueyang City.
Bode smiled bitterly: "Marshal, it's not that the officers and soldiers don't work hard, it's really that the gap between the two sides is too big, not to mention that the other side completely controls the air supremacy, in the face of the heavy tanks of the defenders of Yueyang City, the means of attack we can use are almost ineffective, and it is precisely because the defenders of Yueyang City have a large number of heavy tanks that our seven Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and ten garrison infantry divisions have been defeated so badly, and I, as the temporary commander of the Eastern Front, am willing to accept all punishments." ”
At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, General Gru, sighed and said: "Marshal, the troops on the Eastern Front have been completely defeated, and the officers and soldiers of the seven Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and ten garrison infantry divisions can safely withdraw to the north of Yueyang City, adding up to less than 40,000 people, which is almost equivalent to a loss of ninety percent, in addition, after the Great Qin army defeated the seventeen divisions of our Eastern Front, it did not stop attacking, and it is still attacking the area east of Yueyang City, and the various divisions of our Ice Lion Kingdom stationed in the area east of Yueyang City, It should be difficult to resist the offensive of the Great Qin army, not to mention that the troops of our Ice Lion Kingdom stationed in the area east of Yueyang City are mostly garrison infantry divisions dominated by human soldiers. ”
Marshal Cajano rubbed his temples with his hand, and then asked in a deep voice: "Gru, what do you think we should do now?" ”
Gru sighed again: "Marshal, to be honest, I don't know what to do now, although we have given a high estimate of the strength of the defenders of Yueyang City, but now it seems that we still underestimate it, I feel that with our current strength, it is impossible to capture Yueyang City." ”
Vicor, the commander of the 3rd Praetorian Tank Armored Division in the command center, said: "It is said that the defenders of Yueyang City have dispatched at least 2,000 heavy tanks during the day today, not to mention that my 3rd Janissary Tank Armored Division has not been replenished, even if my 3rd Praetorian Tank Armored Division is back to full strength, it is not the opponent of the defenders of Yueyang City at all, I feel that I should consider giving up attacking Yueyang City for the time being." ”
After Vicor finished speaking, the headquarters suddenly fell into silence, and in the end, it was Marshal Cajano who broke the silence in the headquarters, "Since the troops on the Eastern Front have been defeated, the encirclement of Yueyang City no longer exists, and it is indeed time to consider ending the Second Battle of Yueyang City." ”
The army under Su Yi's command attacked the area east of Yueyang City very smoothly, and as of August 18, 2538 in the Divine Calendar, it had recaptured the territory of the seven counties east of Yueyang City, and even incorporated the three garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Army, which were mainly human soldiers.
And when Su Yi's army triumphed all the way to the east of Yueyang City, the Ice Lion Kingdom army in the north and west of Yueyang City retreated in great strides, and the second large-scale attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City was also declared bankrupt.
Marshal Kayano, as the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army's army in the Great Qin Kingdom, returned to Ice Lion City, the capital of the Ice Lion Country, by transport plane after the defeat in the Second Battle of Yueyang City.
On the morning of August 19, 2538, at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Ice Lion City, Prime Minister Zahar gathered several military marshals in the Cabinet, including Marshal Kayano, who had just returned to Ice Lion City, to attend the Cabinet Military Meeting.
Prime Minister Zahar said in a deep voice: "Now the second battle of Yueyang City launched by our Ice Lion Country has ended in failure, which makes the situation of our Ice Lion Kingdom army in the battlefield of the Great Qin State a little grim, the Great Qin army that was trapped in Yueyang City before is constantly attacking the city in the area east of Yueyang City, as of yesterday, our Ice Lion Country has lost seven counties in the area east of Yueyang City, if we can't break the offensive of this Great Qin army, Our Ice Lion Kingdom will have to have more territory that has already been occupied to be recaptured by this Great Qin army in the future. ”
After a pause, Prime Minister Zahar said: "In addition, in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the army of the Blood Wolf Country has captured almost 900,000 square kilometers of the land of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the troops of our Ice Lion Country entered the southwest region and fought with the army of the Blood Wolf Country once, but due to the lack of air supremacy, the troops of our Ice Lion Country entering the southwest region lost more than 70,000 people at once, which is a small loss, if our Ice Lion Country does not want to give up the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, It is necessary to send more troops to the southwest of the Great Qin State as soon as possible, especially to mobilize more fighters and bombers to the southwest of the Great Qin State. ”
As soon as Prime Minister Zahar's words fell, Marshal Kayano spoke: "I am mainly responsible for the failure of the second battle of Yueyang City, so I am willing to resign from the position of commander-in-chief of the military in the territory of the Great Qin State." ”
Prime Minister Zahar's brows furrowed slightly, "Kajano, let you return to China to participate in this military meeting, I don't mean to blame you, the war in the Great Qin Kingdom, no one here is more familiar than you, I think you have to be the commander-in-chief." ”
Marshal Gurit of the Ice Lion Country's army immediately said: "Kajano, if you pick a son, then only me or Davide can take over the position of the military's commander-in-chief in the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom, but where are the two of us You know the battlefield of the Great Qin Kingdom, so you should clean up the mess of the Great Qin Kingdom by yourself!" ”
Another marshal of the Ice Lion Country's army, Davide, also said: "Gurit is right, the mess on the battlefield of the Great Qin Kingdom, you should clean up after Kajano, I and Gurit may not do as well as you!" ”
In fact, Kayano was not really willing to step down as the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army's army in the Great Qin Kingdom, once Kayano stepped down from this position, it would be equivalent to leaving a stain on his military career, so when the Prime Minister and the other two field marshals spoke and persuaded him, Kayano also got off the slope and said: "You are right, the mess on the battlefield of the Great Qin Country, let me clean it up!" After all, I have to bear a lot of responsibility for the mess now! ”
Prime Minister Zahar continued: "Now let's study how to change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield of the Great Qin State!" Kayano, the person here who knows the most about the battlefield of the Great Qin Kingdom is you, let's talk about it first! ”
Kajano pondered for a moment and said, "I think that in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, our Ice Lion Country only needs to invest more troops and more fighters to compete with the Blood Wolf Country army, and even put many garrison infantry divisions, mainly human soldiers, into the battlefield in the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom." ”
Field Marshal Gu Li nodded and said: "Although the garrison infantry division, which is dominated by human soldiers, has constantly rebelled against the army of the Great Qin State, but in the process of fighting with the army of the Blood Wolf Country in the southwest region before, the performance of the eight garrison infantry divisions dominated by human soldiers participating in the battle is still remarkable. ”
Cajano then said: "But when dealing with the army under Su Yi of the Great Qin Country, our Ice Lion Country has a lot to do, and the main reason why the army under Su Yi can cause so much trouble to our Ice Lion Country is that the army under Su Yi is equipped with a large number of very advanced weapons and equipment, such as individual anti-aircraft missiles and individual anti-tank missiles, these two advanced weapons that have never appeared before, have brought considerable losses to the air force and armored forces of our Ice Lion Country, And these two advanced weapons, our Ice Lion Kingdom has not been able to completely imitate them until now. ”
At this time, Prime Minister Zahar interjected and asked: "Does the military know where these advanced weapons and equipment of Su Yi's army are manufactured?" ”
Field Marshal Davide sighed and said: "Our military's intelligence department has invested a lot of manpower in this regard, and has checked almost everything that can be imagined, but the result is still nothing. ”
Prime Minister Zahar shook his head a little helplessly, and then said to Kayano: "What preparations do we need to make in the Ice Lion Country to deal with the army under Su Yi's command?" ”
