Chapter 17: Before the Decisive Battle
After communicating with Gnier and Filna, Zhang Shixin asked several armored vehicles to send them to the rear.
He doesn't dislike Gnier as a person, although he said that he did those things, but in the case of each being his own master, Zhang Shixin really hardly hates each other.
Moreover, he knew that Dresser's surname was really not good, or even bad.
So will Dressy still be a good friend with this man?
Moreover, after watching these armored vehicles leave, he said a word to Grelian, who was a little reluctant, but there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"If he deserves to die, then what kind of being should I be?"
Treating others with himself, Zhang Shixin knew that he had done a lot of things that were very damn in the eyes of others. However, it is really difficult to make a choice if you have not experienced such a thing and never know such a thing.
Except for the incident that happened to Zhang Shixin in the original world, Zhang Shixin couldn't think of anything reasonable about doing so.
After all, that is the eternal pain of being a descendant of Yan and Huang.
Nanjing, that is a term that cannot be forgotten.
Although there are many similar events in the same period, there is nothing more profound than the history of that place.
He believes that there are many historical massacres of prisoners of war and the like, and Zhang Shixin knows that this is not a hasty decision.
Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, leaving behind infamy through the ages.
However, he didn't do it at the time, and neither did the 400,000 Zhao Junliu, let alone let it go.
Staying, the national strength of the Qin State at that time was also almost consumed, and the extra 400,000 mouths would not take too long to make the entire Qin State bankrupt.
Put it back, that is even more brain-dead, it can be said that when the time comes, Zhao State will rearm more than 300,000 veterans who have been on the battlefield in a few years.
This undoubtedly made all the efforts of the Qin State in the Battle of Changping come to naught.
Although there are other factors, such as the fear of the military power of other countries......
However, no matter from which point of view, once the 400,000 Zhao troops surrendered, it was tantamount to self-extinction.
So, Bai Qi, as a general, is right for him to do so.
Such an infamy was not much ink at the time, and it was more the thoughts of later generations.
Zhang Shixin has done a lot of such things himself, but he is helpless.
From what angle you look at, what you look at, and what conclusions you draw are all different.
Zhang Shixin has been in this world for almost a year, and he deeply agrees with this view.
He was also helpless about what he had done, but in the situation at the time, what could he do if he didn't do it?
Therefore, he is not qualified to blame Gnier, because Zhang Shixin feels that in many ways, they are the same kind of people.
Now he is more focused on the next fight.
The four outlying districts were constantly occupied by attacking forces, led by Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company, and Opez's Western City was now largely under their control.
Zhang Shixin knew very well that the battles in the other three districts would end temporarily this evening.
He had to think about his next move.
According to Gurnier, the few corps that are now entrenched in the central sector actually have only a small number of armored units.
Because most of the armored forces of the Osville Empire were concentrated in the expeditionary force, after the destruction of the expeditionary force, these armored units were also removed from the establishment table of the imperial [***] department.
So now there are only two armored corps in the Osville Empire, and most of them are distributed in some areas.
In fact, there were fewer than two divisions of armoured troops remaining in Opérez, and they were mainly distributed in various urban areas.
Some of the armored units were destroyed in less than three hours after the battle began, and these armored units in the outer defense area were few tanks that escaped the overwhelming shelling.
Zhang Shixin only remembered at this time that he seemed to have found the wreckage of the destroyed tank and combat vehicles of the Osville Army, which were distributed in the small plains to the west, and the number was not too much, nor too little, which meant that a considerable number of tank and combat vehicle units were also left in other areas.
Zhang Shixin was very curious about who came up with such a defense, but what made Zhang Shixin puzzled was that as a commander of a city, Gnier didn't know who came up with such a battle plan.
If Zhang Shixin had two armored armies on hand, he would definitely concentrate a certain amount of strength and launch a surprise attack on the army in either direction first.
Although the results of the battle will not be too good, at least it can consume a certain amount of combat strength of the corresponding troops.
The scattered tanks and combat vehicles are not necessarily as big as the integrated troops, but Zhang Shixin knew that if the two armored armies really rushed towards him, he would not hesitate to turn around and run immediately.
This is simply not a quantity that he can directly oppose.
Zhang Shixin knew that in the internal area of Opérez, the number of armored combat vehicles did not exceed two brigades, and it was obvious that the enemy forces that could reverse the situation were no longer in much of a climate.
Although it is said that the number of troops in the central area of Opérez is quite large, and it is mainly infantry.
The fighting in the central sector will undoubtedly be more intense.
But the gathering of more than 100,000 enemy troops in this central area, which is only a few tens of square kilometers, was in itself a tactical mistake. Because it is difficult to fully deploy such an army in such a small place.
Eventually, these enemy forces are confined to such an area, and it is more likely to cost more supplies or more lives to capture it.
Zhang Shixin undoubtedly chose the former, because the battle was fought here, and the battle losses of his troops were far more than 5,000 people, not including the minor wounded.
If you count the lightly injured who still have a certain combat effectiveness, Zhang Shixin can now be said to have lost more than half.
He didn't expect that just such a city would cause him to suffer unprecedented combat losses.
Zhang Shixin was depressed, but he had no better way.
While Zhang Shixin looked at the map and frowned, he didn't know that his battle losses were much smaller than those of the other three friendly troops.
If Xia Suer and the others knew that Zhang Shixin was still complaining about his losses, it is estimated that these people would directly take out a rough list of battle casualties and show Zhang Shixin.
The casualties, which are almost more than 100,000, tell the story of the heavy toll of the battle.
As a result, several other urban districts have been reduced to ruins, and there is also an element of anger in them.
Zhang Shixin didn't care about the methods of the three countries, but he knew very well that it was better to fight directly into the troops than to fight for every inch of land in the ruins.
Most of Stalingrad was in ruins, but it was able to hold back the Germans, and it was clear that the integrity of the buildings was not too important for the outcome of a battle.
Zhang Shixin's thoughts were known to Xinia, and she rolled her eyes angrily: "Do you think those armies have bug methods like yours?" ”
Zhang Shixin smiled and stopped talking.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
The next morning, Zhang Shixin received a battle report, saying that the other three urban districts had been captured one after another from last night to now.
Zhang Shixin knew very well that the next battle would determine the outcome of this operation.
There are still two days to go, but Zhang Shixin is a little lacking in confidence to capture the central area of Opérez in two days.
However, things have come to this point, and he can only wait for the moment of general attack.
……
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the Triple Alliance first launched a routine artillery cover of the central area of Opérez.
As for Zhang Shixin's troops, they waited in relatively intact houses and buildings, as well as areas that were theoretically impossible to hit by friendly shells.
Zhang Shixin didn't let his artillery join the artillery coverage, because he knew that his hundreds of artillery pieces were still not enough to see in such a situation.
The second reason is that the artillery shoots blindly, and the effect is really not very good.
Third, it is because although Zhang Shixin still has a lot of reserved shells, these shells are not wasted like this. He didn't have the money to get to this point yet.
In the very sturdy large store building, looking at the central area instead of the main body of the building that could not withstand the damage and collapsed, Zhang Shixin was waiting for the moment when he ordered a general attack.
His mood now is much better than yesterday, because the underground vault that Zhang Shixin asked the summoners to find that the Osville Empire secretly hid was found by the summoners at three o'clock last night.
The entrance is not hidden, because it is actually under the fountain in a small square in Xicheng District.
Zhang Shixin thanked Gnier for providing information that on the third day after he took over the defense area, more than 600 meters outside the small square were ordered to be cleared, and then large trucks carrying many Praetorian Guards continued to drive into the temporarily closed area.
Gnier was a little concerned about this at the time, but since it was the Praetorian Guards who were dealing with these matters, Gnier didn't have much to say.
Before leaving, Gnier relayed the news to Zhang Shixin, who thought about it for a while and decided to look for these things overnight.
By this morning, he had good news.
There are a large number of valuable treasures inside, most of which are gold and silver coins, a few more valuable knick-knacks, and some famous paintings, paintings, and antique objects.
Zhang Shixin asked Fei Lei to deal with these things, he didn't want those famous paintings and calligraphy, and let Fei Lei completely dominate those things that Zhang Shixin couldn't look at.
Firay didn't need anything like that, but he knew very well that there were a lot of people collecting it, and it could sell for a good price.
Eventually, Firay divided the treasure into three parts, both of which were gold and silver, and the last part was what Firay thought had other uses.
The first part is gold coins worth more than five million, and silver coins and precious metals worth ten million. This part is Zhang Shixin's own property.
The second part is the remaining hard currency.
Zhang Shi thought about it, and was quite satisfied with Fei Lei's arrangement.
Although the hard currency in the second part is much more valuable than Zhang Shixin's part.
But when it comes to many things, these hard currencies are just quantities that can only satisfy hunger.
In the third part, Fei Lei extracted all the diamonds in it, and then said to Zhang Shixin: "Boss, can we use these diamonds to make some rings......
Zhang Shixin nodded, and then smiled: "No problem, as long as someone needs this...... In such a situation, you can do it. Think of it as a bonus for you. ”
It's not that Zhang Shixin doesn't like diamonds, but the system doesn't accept diamonds, and he doesn't have a good way.
Zhang Shixin thought that Fei Lei would leave like this, and after dealing with some things, he unexpectedly heard the other party say a sentence: "That, boss, I don't know how many rings you need to order?" ”
Zhang Shixin heard this sentence and almost didn't squirt out the sip of coffee in his mouth.
He choked a few times in embarrassment, then looked at Firay a little strangely, and subconsciously said, "Tell me how many I should order?" ”
Firay actually thought solemnly for a while, and then said, "Boss, His Majesty De Perry, His Royal Highness Hurley, and Miss Loris must at least make three copies...... Also, I don't know if His Highness Grelian's relationship with ......"
"Stop, stop, stop......" Zhang Shixin hurriedly shouted to stop Filei, and then said: "That's it, just make four." ”
Zhang Shixin thought that his answer was clear enough, but Fei Lei insisted on saying something that made him extremely angry: "Four women's rings?" ”
"Damn! One for men, three for women, so be it! Zhang Shixin began to rampage......
Well, Firay, who saw the boss running wild, immediately saw the wind and rudder, and quickly patted his chest: "No problem, in short, I will look for the best jewelry processor to complete the task." ”
After Zhang Shixin saw his right-hand man walk out, he saw that the coffee in the cup was finished, and he was about to take out a pack and make another cup.
He suddenly heard a sentence: "Boss, don't you really need to prepare a few more rings?" ”
Zhang Shixin: "......"
Zhang Shixin didn't know if he had such a capable subordinate, whether he was happy or unlucky......
……
Thinking of this interesting incident that happened this morning, Zhang Shixin subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
Then he saw a signal soldier coming from outside the door, saluted him, and handed him a note.
Zhang Shixin returned a military salute, and then looked at the note, a sentence on it made him frown.
"There are a number of countries that have formed alliances and strongly intervened in our actions."
Zhang Shixin knows that many times, the development of things tends to deviate from everyone's expectations.
Naturally, he also knew, and the commanders of other units were well aware of such intelligence.
This means that they have to go on the offensive next.
"Time...... It's not much. ”
Zhang Shixin smiled bitterly, he knew that this was really the last chance.
Other countries will form an anti-war coalition to participate in such a thing, mainly because they do not want the alliance of the two countries and the GLP alliance to be too powerful.
They are not even afraid that the alliance of the two countries will officially turn into the Triple Alliance.
In fact, it's impossible. It is impossible for two ideologically different countries to truly unite.
So, compared to the GLP alliance, the alliance between the two countries is the real goal of these people.
This alone is not the point, the point is that the gap in the strength of the alliance between the two countries is still very large, and if a war breaks out even more than the current one.
The kingdom of Capani will inevitably collapse because of the financial pressure.
The kingdom of Capani should not have participated in all the wars that followed the civil war at all?
Otherwise, because the newly occupied areas of the Capani Kingdom have a better foundation than most of the original territory of the Capani Kingdom, and the long-term benefits of occupying these areas are not comparable to those of the Capani Kingdom before the turmoil.
Using the equivalent conversion formula, the kingdom of Capani, which has completed a series of wars and won victories, has doubled its strength and possibly more.
Such calculations are data that have been redeveloped in the kingdom of Capani in two or three years. So it's a long-term benefit.
The Gultoka Empire has occupied a lot of new territory, which can only be regarded as the icing on the cake for the Gultoka Empire, which is quite powerful in itself.
But it is also impossible for the Gultoka Empire to face the pressure exerted by most of the countries of this world at the same time.
As for the GLP Alliance, Zhang Shixin still has a trace of worry, maybe all this, there is also this country behind it.
The negative impact of this on the GLP Alliance is very large, and it is true to think so, but in terms of geopolitical factors, the GLP Alliance is the only country that can suppress the alliance between the two countries, no, it should be said that it can compete with the Gultoka Empire.
After these things happen to the kingdom of Capani, they will not be able to conduct large-scale military operations for two or three years.
Therefore, the Gultoka Empire became the main external force of the alliance between the two countries.
As for the Hilton Empire, the alliance between the two countries does not need to worry too much, firstly, the country has always been silent about such things, and secondly, the situation in the south of the Hilton Empire is also a bit bad, and the relations between the two peoples living in the desert have been very tense because the Hilton Empire has always taken in some of their overall discordant existence.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party's abilities had not been integrated, although the Hilton Empire would not have perished, it would be impossible to resist the Beres Alliance without paying a considerable price.
Suddenly, Zhang Shixin remembered a country that he had been neglecting.
He called Firay over and shared his thoughts with them.
Fei Lei glanced at Zhang Shixin in surprise, but after he thought for a while, Fei Lei also showed a solemn expression: "Boss, we really seem to be ignoring that country with considerable influence. ”
"Why do they need to do this?" Zhang Shixin voiced his doubts.
"For the sake of power, I heard that the Papal States have always been ......" Firay could finish his sentence when a herald from the Gultoka Empire came over and saluted him.
The other party said a sentence: "Marshal Shasur said that things have reached a very bad point, and he hopes that this time he can break through the central area in one go." ”
"I see. You reply to Marshal Shasur and say that we will launch an offensive with them! ”
Zhang Shixin watched the herald leave, and then shook his head: "Go down and prepare, besides, you are not allowed to come to the front-line battlefield in person!" That's an order! ”
Fei Lei wanted to say something, but Zhang Shixin waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Zhang Shixin thought for a long time, and finally shook his head......
……
At ten o'clock in the morning, the shelling ended again.
And Zhang Shixin looked at the communicator who was replaced with a summoner, and then directly gave the order to attack in his mind......
At one point, Grelian shook his head and left Opérez.
She remembered what Zhang Shixin said to her: "I can't trust a girl who may become an enemy." ”
She knew that what Zhang Shixin said was more of an excuse.
However, she didn't want to show a trace of cowardice in front of the other party.
It's just that after getting into the car, her maid saw this princess who had always been very strong, and silently shed tears.
……
The battle in the central area has officially begun. (To be continued.) )
