"Listen! The shelling stopped! "On the defensive positions on the periphery of Yisuotong, the artillery fire of the Ming Empire stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A soldier from Ceylon raised his head in the trench and looked at the Ming Empire position in the distance, waiting for the enemy's charge.

"Why didn't the enemy go on the attack?" Looking over a flaming Ming Empire's No. 2 tank, the Ceylon soldiers asked each other suspiciously.

In the past, as long as the Ming Empire stopped the shelling, it would naturally launch an infantry attack later, except for noon and two meals in the evening, with few exceptions.

But now, it is still very early before the time to eat, and it is obvious that the other party has no intention of continuing to attack. This made the soldiers of Ceylon wonder, and they did not know whether this was good news or bad news.

In one of the regimental headquarters on the position, the officer of Ceylon grabbed the phone and was reporting to the division headquarters about this strange thing in front of him: "Yes! Be! The enemy did not go on the offensive...... We are on the alert and will not let our guard down. ”

The same thing happened on the long western and central routes of the southeast peninsula. Originally, the armored troops of the Ming Empire rushed left and right, and they seemed to have converged within a day.

The ubiquitous planes of the other side seemed to have disappeared, the shelling had stopped, and the expected infantry attack had not begun.

"News from the 74th Army over there, the enemy has not continued to attack." An officer was in the headquarters in the city of Yisotong, and the commander of the 20th Army reported the latest news.

Farther away, the enemy did not seem to have the intention of attacking, and it did not seem to be a pincer offensive with both flanks breaking through the encirclement center, nor was it the old routine of breaking through the center to tear apart the defense line and assault in depth.

"It's really incomprehensible, how can you stop when you're rushing for time......" The commander of the 20th Army looked at the map depressedly, not knowing how to describe what was happening in front of him.

……

"After the enemy had captured Rangoon and taken Pha-an and Mawlamyine, they stopped their advance." In the headquarters of Tuozhou, Shen Tianlong, who hurried back from the front line, listened carefully to the reports of his subordinates.

"On the central front, the Ming army, which had already captured Loei, Udon Thani and other places, stopped near Yi Sothong and had no intention of continuing the offensive...... Another officer followed up to give a briefing on the situation in the center.

At the moment, it seems that only the fighting in the Da Nang area is still going on. The rest of the southeast peninsula has entered a state of armistice.

Hearing the news, Shen Tianlong's ugly face finally relaxed a little. His guilt for killing Miao Shengye also disappeared most of them as the war was about to end and the Shen family was about to ascend to the throne.

"It seems that things are very simple, the Ming Empire is waiting for us to give them an explanation in Luzon, and then use Da Nang to give us an explanation." Shen Yue looked at Shen Tianlong and said like this.

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and added a suffix that made Shen Tianlong feel a little more relieved after the analysis-"Lord of the Family".

Shen Yue has always been the strategist behind the scenes of the Shen family, and he is also a very scheming and powerful person. In terms of the Shen family's military generals, with the departure of Shen Lie, there is a great momentum of withering. But with Shen Yue here, in the civil service system, the Shen family still sits firmly on the throne of the first place in Ceylon officialdom.

"Your analysis is correct, and there's one more point." Shen Tianlong looked at Shen Baihe, who had just rushed back to Ceylon from the front line, and said by name: "Baihe, let's analyze another point." ”

"In fact, another point is that the Ming Empire has surrounded Da Nang, and this bone may not be spit out by the other party." Shen Baihe opened his mouth and cautiously said his thoughts.

After a defeat on the Southeast Peninsula, he can be said to have grown up completely. As the military leader of the younger generation of the Shen family, he still has vision, but his courage has been extinguished by Wang Jue's ferocity.

"Da Nang ...... After all, we can't get it back...... It's just that this port, given to the Ming Dynasty, does not mean that the Ming Empire can use it. Shen Yue said proudly.

The Ming Empire's Nanyang Fleet was completely wiped out in the battle, and the naval power near the South China Sea was bound to be a focus of subsequent negotiations.

As long as the navy of the Ming Empire is suppressed, then in the next peacetime, the navy of Ceylon may blockade the southern ports of the Ming Empire in wartime.

Therefore, in Ceylon's view, as long as the ambition of the Ming Empire to reach out to the sea is suppressed, then things like ports are just targets that can be destroyed at any time.

"Well, we can move on to planning our next steps...... Give orders to several divisions that are still on the Luzon front, tell them to stop the offensive and wait for news for the time being. ”

When the news was sent to the Luzon front, the soldiers on the front were on the verge of crying - they had fought here for so long and lost so many men that they had finally come up with an explanation.

On the beachhead of Luzon alone, Ceylonese soldiers have lost almost 30,000 soldiers, and that number is still rising.

Now, the beaches of Luzon, which seem to be man-eating monsters, have finally returned to their tranquility. The shells of the Ming Empire no longer fell, and the ships of the landing force no longer came and went.

The corpses of the soldiers on the beach were cleared, stacked one on top of the other, as if they were pyramids. The water is still red, but the color looks much lighter.

Although they were not driven out to sea, the Ceylonese soldiers on Luzon did not gain much actual control, and most of their positions were still on the beach, with only a few positions continuing to the second line of defense of the Ming Empire.

"Speaker...... I heard that he died on the Guan Yu...... "In the division headquarters of the 2nd Division of Ceylon, an officer handed the telegram to Miao Shengye's cronies, the commander of the 2nd Division.

The division commander looked at the contents of the message, sighed, and threw the document aside: "Speaker...... All I can do is wait here. ”

Yes, there is only so much left to do. At the same time that the gunfire on Luzon had stopped, the gunfire in Da Nang had also thinned out.

The difference, however, is that behind the rubble of Da Nang, on both sides of the connection, the Ceylon defenders stationed in the ruins raised their heads.

In their frightened eyes, a dragon flag of the Ming Empire slowly rose on the roof of the government building in the center of Da Nang.

On the same day, the Ming Empire announced that it had captured the ruined Da Nang - but the gunfire did not really stop in the streets and alleys of Da Nang until 13 days later.
