143 Only one colonel was captured

The first and largest group is naturally the First Group Army specially set up by Wang Ziming, which is hundreds of thousands of people.

While besieging the 1st Infantry Division of O'Barro on the outskirts of Reese City, there are more than 100,000 people surrounding Reece City on three sides!

The second group was the French line infantry stationed in the Devil's Mountains, which was the smallest in number, less than 100,000 men......

It is mainly responsible for building a smooth road from the Land of Hope to the entrance of the Devil's Mountains, guarding and supervising the collection of magic stones by prisoners of war miners, and building a complete defense system in the Devil's Mountains based on the terrain, mainly used to defend against the attacks of demonic creatures and undead currents, and of course, to defend against human armies from outside invasion when necessary.

The remaining two were large forces that swept in opposite directions towards the colonial area of the city of Reese, and these two groups of French line infantry were not used in a concentrated manner, but moved in divisional combat units of more than 10,000 men.

At the same time, he also received an order from Wang Ziming to 'eat the enemy'.

If nothing else, with the affluence of the colonial area of Ris City, Wang Ziming will not need to worry about the food of the two French line infantry who swept through the colonial area in less than two days.

Even if they do, they can grab enough food!

Not to mention that there will be casualties during the robbery, reducing the mouth of eating......

The area of the colonial area of Rees City is very vast, and a large amount of farmland has been opened up after decades of colonization, and naturally a lot of grain has been stored, so Wang Ziming is not worried about the food and grass problems of these two armies.

Now Wang Ziming was most worried about the rations of the garrisons in the First Army and the Devil's Mountains.

The number of garrisons in the Devil's Mountains is small, and they can also supplement some by hunting and gathering wild fruits in the Devil's Mountains, plus the food produced in the territory of another dimension, which is enough in the short term.

But the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the First Army do not have a food 'budget'!

Not even a short-term food budget!

Because the First Army went directly to the city of Reese, it only occupied a tomato town on the way, and did not plunder other human strongholds, so naturally it could not get much food......

Therefore, Wang Ziming's order to the First Army was to completely annihilate the 1st Infantry Division of O'Barro and break through the city of Rees within three days, and fill the belly of the 1st Army with the food in the city of Reese!

The city of Rees, as the richest administrative center of the colonial area of Rees, should be able to grab the food supply of the First Army in the short term.

Yes, all of Wang Ziming's budgets are calculated according to the short term, and if he can supply the rations of more than two million troops in the short term, Wang Ziming is very satisfied, at least give him time to continue to expand outward.

Anyway, snatch out the rations of the march!

Since he chose to tear his face with Reece City, Wang Ziming did not plan to slowly farm and develop, so he naturally wanted to give full play to the glorious tradition of robbery......

When Wang Ziming was looking through the loss of troops on his personal panel, a report suddenly came from outside the door.

Soon, Wang Ziming met the 'enemy' who wanted to kill him inexplicably-Li Chengdong.

Lee Sung-dong was the only officer in the 1st Infantry Division of Obaro to surrender with the rank of second lieutenant or above.

However, it is not accurate to say this, because Li Chengdong has the rank of colonel, but he has no specific position, and at most he follows his father as an adjutant on weekdays, learning how to be a qualified senior officer.

At the same time, he also became familiar with or befriended the middle and senior officers of the 1st Infantry Division of Obarro, paving the way for him to officially become the commander of the regular army in the future.

To put it bluntly, Li Chengdong is the kind of gold-plated route for the children of the top powerful......

This phenomenon is so common in the federal military, why did all the mid- and high-ranking officers of the 1st Infantry Division die in battle?

Is it really because of patriotism?

Well, there may be a reason for the loss here, but the most important factor is that these middle and high-level officers are all from noble backgrounds!

If they die in battle, they will still be treated as martyrs by the federal government, and the family behind them will be proud of them, and they will not be left behind by political enemies.

But if you surrender, the family behind it will definitely be implicated, and one person will surrender and the whole family will be unlucky!

Those who can enter the regular army of the Federation as official middle and senior officers, if not the top talents among the children of the nobility, are also the best among them, and they have grown up in an educational environment where family honor is above all else, how can they let the whole family take the blame for their own lives?

Of course, Li Chengdong's surrender was not voluntary, Li Shimin originally wanted to send his son out of the chaos, but he didn't want to be shot black, Li Chengdong was injured and fell to the ground and fainted, and when he woke up, he was already a prisoner......

The French line infantry fully saw the end of the death and suicide of the middle and senior officers of the 1st Infantry Division of Obarro, so they finally captured a colonel, and the senior officer was naturally tied up in various ways to ensure that he would not die, at least sacrifice to his own boss before dying!

This was an order from Wang Ziming, who hoped to capture mid- and high-ranking federal regular army officers, and then set an example of surrender through propaganda to break the will of the federal army to resist.

It doesn't cost much.

It's just that what Wang Ziming didn't expect was that the noble officers of the regular army of the Purple Dragon Federation were so tough that they all fought to the end!

On the contrary, a large number of ordinary soldiers and junior officers (below the rank of second lieutenant) surrendered, and after the collapse of the 1st Infantry Division in Obaro, the remaining soldiers gave up resistance......

Ordinary soldiers and junior officers were all from civilian backgrounds, with no family honor to maintain, and no huge family fortune to guard against political enemies......

Had it not been for the mid- and high-ranking officers of the 1st Infantry Division in Obaro forcing a large number of rank-and-file officers and soldiers to die before committing suicide, many more would have surrendered.

These soldiers and junior officers have nothing to publicize, because their own influence is too low, and they can't say to the federal army that your platoon commanders have surrendered, so everyone should surrender quickly......

That would only add to the joke......

Therefore, Wang Ziming sent these captives to the Devil Mountain Range to mine in the Land of Hope.

Now that all the forest coolers have opened up farmland and cultivated land in the territory of another dimension, they can produce as much food as possible to feed the army, and the magic stone mine in the land of hope in the real world naturally needs a large number of miners to replenish.

And these soldiers who can fight, Wang Ziming, don't dare to let them go, what if they leave with their front feet and are encouraged to join the guerrillas to resist themselves?

These people are all veterans, and the guerrillas formed by ordinary people and the guerrillas formed by veterans are completely two different concepts!

Therefore, all the prisoners of war who had been soldiers were sent to the Devil's Mountains as miners!
