"What? You tell me again? I just sent 3,000 people to support, and you told me that the Liuhe defense line was broken through by the Ming army? "Ye Hehao Zhan, who had just arrived at Daliutun with a reserve division, was horrified to see a general who had been defeated on the Liuhe defensive line.

He grabbed the officer's collar with his bruised hands, and angrily asked a series of questions: "There are at least 3,000 people on the defense line, and the Ming army has not broken through a single line of defense by almost noon!" In addition, I sent more than 3,000 people to support...... And now you're telling me that when it's time for dinner, the whole line of defense is breached? ”

Although he was not willing to admit that the routs he saw in front of him were the defenders on the Liuhe defense line under his command, and although he was also very reluctant to admit that the commander of the rout he was carrying was his cronies, the facts were still in front of him after all, and his Liuhe defense line seemed to have really been broken through by the Ming army.

If the Liaohe defense line is the foundation of the Jin rebels' operation for decades, the entire Anshan and Liaoyang have been fortified, and the Liuhe defense line, which has just been built for more than ten days, is indeed not very impregnable. However, judging from the wars that broke out in Europe and the experience of positional warfare between the Jin State and the Ming Empire in the past, if you want to break through a defense line like Liuhe, the Ming army will have to fight for a few days and nights, leaving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, this is obviously not the case, the Ming army has made a breakthrough in the Liuhe defense line after losing thousands of troops, and he also knows from the rout that this is because the Ming army has invested in new weapons and equipment. But he still hasn't been able to imagine how powerful that kind of armored car without rubber wheels can be.

This is not a steampunk-style tank that is thrown into enemy positions as a large armored vehicle, but a full-fledged equipment that combines advanced technology such as small radio equipment, machine guns, rotating turrets, and high-powered gasoline engines. Maybe this is Wang Jue's harsh requirements, with the progress of science and technology, the bewitching flowers that bloom.

"Could it be that this new weapon of the Ming army is really impossible to deal with? Could it be that the defense line of our Jin country, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers, will never be peaceful from now on? Ye Hehao Zhan staggered, leaving the commander of the rout behind, and with words in his mouth, it seemed that he could not face everything that had happened.

When he was still struggling with how to face the breakthrough of the Liuhe defense line, the Ming army did not stop the attack, the car dragged the 75 mm caliber small-caliber artillery, followed the rushing tanks, and killed the village node on the west bank of the Liuhe River at a faster speed than the retreat of the rebels in other parts of the defense line.

As soon as the defense line of Liuhe was broken, the troops deployed by the rebels near Liuhe were suddenly cut into two sections by the new army in terms of the situation, and it didn't matter if the troops in the direction of Xinmin were defeated, because after all, as long as they were defeated all the way, they could retreat to the direction of Fengtian and then make plans.

But the more than 60,000 troops deployed near Zhangwu County in the north suddenly became rootless duckweed that was isolated. A little further north, the Mongolian region controlled by the Ming Dynasty, if they wanted to go home, they had to make a detour to the two counties of Kangping and Faku, and go around in a big circle. Although this encirclement is not tight, who can guarantee that he can smoothly return to the area controlled by the Jin State?

In case the Ming army, which broke through the defense line of Liuhe, went north and bit the pursuit, it is estimated that one-third of the troops can return to Faku, which can be regarded as lucky. Driven by this pressure, the two divisions of the Jin army near Zhangwu County surrendered without a fight, and the other two divisions abandoned their baggage supplies and routed all the way in the direction of Kangping Faku.

Things were developing almost in parallel, when the Jin army in Zhangwu County was in a panic to find a way for themselves, the Ming army was not busy going north, but concentrated the fist power they could find, and started the journey of chasing and killing south with the fastest speed they could.

The soldiers of the New Army sat on the heat dissipation grille of the tank, holding their rifles, and rumbled across the road with expressionless faces, not avoiding the slow Jinguo planes flying overhead. This biplane is now slightly outdated, but it is still an intermediate force in the skies of the armies of various countries.

However, because of its thin and light design and limited payload, this kind of aircraft has no way to carry out the jamming mission of ground attack. At this time, the pilots were also very expensive, and they were not willing to carry out dangerous ground attack missions at all, as long as they brought the ground situation they saw back to the airport, it would be considered a great achievement.

It is a pity that even if such early aircraft were used for reconnaissance, they were not fully qualified equipment -- first of all, there was no radio equipment, so it could not transmit useful information in a timely manner, and another reason was that at a glance from a distance, the analysis and conclusions drawn often depended on the quality and ability of the pilots, and could only be used as a reference and could not draw conclusions.

Taking the current situation as an example, the pilots of the Jin Kingdom couldn't understand everything that was happening in front of him: he saw a large-scale movement of troops on the ground, all of them were running in the direction of Xinmin County, whose troops were they, which were their own people, and which were the troops of the Ming Empire, he couldn't analyze it at all.

Because even the Ming Empire army on the ground found itself mixed with the rout of the rebels. The road was full of surrendered rebel soldiers, and the Ming army had to drive these soldiers off the road in order to pass quickly, and then escorted by a small number of Ming troops, clumsily drove back to the Liuhe River over the mountains and mountains.

At about 7 o'clock after dinner, the sky was still bright on the Liaohe Plain, and the Ming soldiers launched a fierce attack on the rebels without eating, annihilating a rebel military headquarters near Yujiawobao and seizing a rebel flag. More than 2,000 rebels surrendered under the leadership of a large group of rebel officers, and the Ming army paid the price of just over 100 casualties.

Also at about 7 o'clock in the evening, Ye Hehaozhan, the rebel royal general who was in a hurry in Daliutun, ruthlessly issued an order for the defenders of Zhangwu County to go south, flank the Ming army's river-crossing troops in front and back, and recapture the Liuhe defense line. Ye He Hao Zhan knew that this was his last chance to fight for his life before the punishment came. If he waited until Yehe Haolian knew the news of the collapse of the Liuhe defensive line, he really had no way to live.

With the defeated troops and the soldiers and horses he brought, Ye Hehao Zhan hastily set up a position in Daliutun, preparing to fight an encounter with the Ming army.
