Chapter 112: The Orenza Empire Strikes
What surprised Niu Dazhu and Zhang Shi was that nearly a thousand soldiers of the former Cangyu Empire were basically willing to join the Su Family's army, and only a few of them did not express their position on the spot, but these people's faces were also full of hesitation, after all, the welfare of the Su Family's army was indeed very good, and the welfare of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire was simply worlds apart.
And after the royal family of the Cangyu Empire signed a treaty with the Shalad Empire to lose power and humiliate the country, they almost completely lost the hearts of the military and the people, so that these prisoners of war who were willing to join the Su family army did not have any pressure in their hearts at all.
Of course, the national theory propagated by the young propagandist just now also played a certain role, which made the prisoners of war feel that joining the Su family army was not a traitor, and they joined the Su family army in order to let the entire Tang family regain its footing at the top of the world.
Niu Dazhu and Zhang Shi then counted that a total of 982 prisoners of war were willing to join the Su family's army, so the two rushed to the camp headquarters in ecstaty.
Their battalion commander was also very happy to learn that 982 prisoners of war had been recruited at once, and immediately appointed Niu Dazhu as the company commander of the first supplementary company, Zhang Shishi as the company commander of the second company, and a deputy platoon commander of the battalion headquarters guard platoon to serve as the company commander of the third supplementary company.
The 982 prisoners of war will be divided equally among the three supplementary companies, and the battalion will also assign 20 veterans from each of the three supplementary companies to serve as platoon commanders and squad leaders.
After Su Yi ordered conscription among prisoners of war, almost every infantry battalion under the 40 field infantry divisions on the front line of the Su family army formed three or four supplementary companies with prisoners of war, and some infantry regiments even established two or three supplementary battalions with prisoners of war.
The forty field infantry divisions of the Su family army on the front line have expanded to more than 2.7 million people in less than ten days, and most of the more than 2.7 million people were originally ordinary soldiers of the Cangyu Empire, only a very few were officers of the original Cangyu Imperial Army, and the highest official position was the squadron leader.
Thousands of middle and senior officers of the former Cangyu Imperial Army, and many of them are willing to join the Su Family Army, but it is impossible for Su Yi to directly arrange these middle and senior officers to serve in the Su Family Army, so for the middle and senior officers who are willing to join the Su Family Army, Su Yi asked He Yunfei to establish an officer school, and temporarily arranged these people to study in the military academy.
Just when the Su family army was in full swing and ready to continue to advance towards the hinterland of the Cangyu Empire, the millions of troops of the Orenza Empire once again launched a super-large-scale attack on the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire.
At this time, the Orenza Empire had gathered seventeen fully established infantry legions in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, of which six infantry legions were newly formed by the Orensa Empire using reserve troops, and four other infantry legions were expanded by the Orenza Empire with reserve forces after the outbreak of the war.
The Su family army has two guards infantry brigades, four marine brigades, and twenty-four field infantry brigades in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, with about 600,000 troops, mainly concentrated in the Purple Moon City area.
The Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire has gathered more than 3.5 million troops in the southern region, and thanks to the batch of weapons and ammunition given by Su Yi, the 3.5 million troops of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire are quite neatly armed and equipped.
In the face of the attack of the Orenza Imperial army, the Su family army and the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire launched a stubborn resistance, and the entire southern region of the Purple Moon Empire suddenly broke out in flames, and the casualties of the armies on both sides were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, every day.
On June 25, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in a large hall of the imperial palace in Cachino City, the capital of the Orenza Empire, Emperor Modest asked Prime Minister Nikifor: "Does the Gisk Empire have any intention of sending troops to the Purple Moon Empire again?" ”
Prime Minister Nikifore shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Gisk Empire has made it clear that it will no longer interfere in the war of the Purple Moon Empire. ”
Emperor Molges sighed, "It seems that we can only rely on the Orenza Empire itself. ”
It has only been six days since the Orenza Empire relaunched its offensive in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, but in just these six days, the casualties of the Orenza Royal Army were as high as 400,000, even the Orenza Empire, which had gathered more than five million troops, was a little unbearable in the face of such a huge loss, and the key was to pay such a huge price, but the Orenza Royal Army did not achieve much success in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire.
This made Morges, the emperor of the Orensa Empire, can't help but hope that the Gisk Empire can send troops again to relieve the pressure on the Royal Army of Orenza.
Prime Minister Nikifore nodded and said: "Your Majesty, although the losses of our Orenza Royal Army are very large, the losses of the Purple Moon Empire and the Su Family Army are also not small, and the Su Family Army has invested most of its forces in the territory of the Cangyu Empire at this time, and our Orenza Royal Army still has hope of winning the final victory in this decisive battle." ”
At this time, the Minister of War Andrian said to Emperor Molders in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now that our Royal Army of Orenza is in the country, there are still ten standing legions and four legions that have just been formed, in view of the current war in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, the minister feels that a few more legions should be transferred into the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire." ”
Before the Orenza Empire invaded the Purple Moon Empire, the Royal Orenza Army had seventeen standing infantry legions, with a total strength of more than five million, ranking fifth in strength among the world's armies, and the current number of infantry legions in the Royal Orenza Army has reached thirty-one.
Before Emperor Marcus could speak, Prime Minister Nikifuel hurriedly said: "You can't increase troops to the territory of the Purple Moon Empire, if you increase the number of troops, the logistics will collapse, in order to ensure the supply of all kinds of supplies for the seventeen infantry regiments in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, our logistics department of the Orenza Empire has done its best, after all, many railways and roads in the Purple Moon Empire are often destroyed by the guerrillas of the Purple Moon Empire." ”
War Minister Andrian frowned and said, "Prime Minister, our troops of the Royal Army of Orenza in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire have collected food and other supplies locally as much as possible, and the logistics department only needs to prepare enough weapons and ammunition for the troops on the front line." ”
Prime Minister Nikifore sighed and said: "It is precisely because the seventeen infantry legions can basically solve the problem of food by themselves that the logistics department can barely guarantee the weapons and ammunition of the seventeen infantry legions, if even the food needs to be transported from the domestic territory of our Orenza Empire to the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire, then the War Department can only concentrate the size of ten infantry legions in the southern region of the Purple Moon Empire at most." ”
