162 The tide of battle has changed
"Commander, the enemy's attack is more fierce than expected, should we withdraw the 18th Army first and take a rest?"
Soon after the drums of the Paul Bell sounded on the battlefield, the inspired soldiers created new problems for the Eastern Front Command of the Neglo Republic, which had launched the attack. Eastern Front Command Commander Taijia Bush stood on a high podium and looked at the battlefield in the distance. The commander of the 19th Army, Levi Slatley, stood behind his flank, making recommendations.
"No, Commander, we can hold on! Take down Chadra in one go! The 18th Army is fine! ”
The commander of the 18th Army, Alan Carvallo, stood next to Levi Slatley and raised objections. With the steam cannon of the Weapons Research Institute, everyone saw a victory that was at their fingertips and close at hand. At this time, let the 18th Army withdraw its troops and give the fruits of victory to the 19th Army? He, Alan Carvallo, wasn't one of those stupid old hats.
"Commander, the 18th Army has been fighting until now, with heavy casualties. The enemy's will to resist is fierce, it is better to send both the 17th and 19th armies, we have enough troops, and we can definitely take Chadrach in one go. When the time comes, you will not only be the first commander to recover the entire Duchy of Rairim, but you will also be the first to set foot on Ankenriin territory. You will become the most powerful military god in the post-wizard era! Commander, now there are steam cannons from the Weapons Research Institute, and our troops are invincible. Even if the enemy resists stubbornly, the final outcome cannot be changed. We are doomed to victory in the war. What are you waiting for? Let's fight together and decide the winner! ”
It was John Clemonz, commander of the 17th Army, who spoke. Seeing that Levi Slatley of the 19th Army was trying to steal the credit, he took the initiative to propose a compromise solution. Since the commander doesn't want to replace the 18th Army, it's better to let everyone go up together and share the credit together.
"Well, that's fine", the Tayi family also knew what these generals under their command were thinking. Last year, he was pressed to the ground and beaten by Ankenrein for half a year, and all the soldiers of the Negro Republic were holding back the fire in their hearts. Now that victory is finally in sight, who doesn't want to be the first to storm the enemy's headquarters?
"Pass my order, the 19th Army on the left flank and the 17th Army on the right flank will put in all reserves and launch a general attack!"
The Tayyi's decision was made very quickly. It's not that he's not careful, it's that the cards in his hand are too good. The nearly 100 steam cannons provided by the Weapons Research Institute before and after provided his army with the key to victory. Even if this heavy weapon mounted on an eight-wheeled cart is not easy to transport and easy to explode, it can break through the iron shield defense line and destroy the formation of the line of shots, and every time at the beginning of the battle, it can quickly break the will of the enemy. And, after receiving the news that the enemy had sent the Third Army to Enspan Province to deal with the communist forces, Tai Bush knew that the opportunity had come. Originally, the strength of the two sides was about the same, but now the opposite side suddenly drew a whole army to deal with a small rebel force of less than 10,000 people, which made him feel that the people on the opposite side had been kicked in the brain by a donkey. With a surplus of more than 60,000 troops, and such a killer weapon as a steam cannon. How could he Tai Bush break a good hand?
"Order!"
"Order!"
The reactions of Levi Slatley and John Clemonz were almost simultaneous. The two looked at each other excitedly and rushed out. The commander of the 18th Army, Alan Carvallo, shrugged his shoulders at Tai Bush and made a helpless expression.
"Forget it, it's a big credit, and it's not appropriate for you to eat alone."
Taijia Bush still has a number in mind. The 17th, 18th, and 19th armies of the nine armies that came with him to fight Lai Lin this time were his descendants, and they were the most convenient to use, so they always took them with him. As for the 20th and 21st armies and the newly formed 22nd, 23rd, and 24th armies, he was arranged on the other three flanks of Chadra and was responsible for encircling Chadra. The steam cannon was all of his companions as a killer weapon, which basically eliminated the possibility of other armies attacking Chadra first. However, after the last victory on the Lorraine-Rennes line, he also relieved the commanders of the other five armies. As long as they have the ability and ability to attack Chadlah, he will give him a lot of honors and rewards.
With the order of the Tai family, the remaining two divisions of the 17th and 19th armies, a total of four divisions, were also put into the battlefield. They lined up in a neat line, guns in hand, and the soldiers in the front row, dressed in armor, followed the sound of air whistles. After the country entered the wartime track, the production rate of improvised plate armor increased dramatically, and now it is almost able to achieve a ration rate of close to 10%. The Tayi family also took advantage of the situation to use the armored spearmen separately, improving the defense capability of the first and second platoons of the queue to shoot the formation. Judging from the effect of actual combat, it is also good.
"It's Paul Bell beating the drum on the other side."
Eastern Front Command Chief of Staff Stefan Schgvar stepped forward and handed Tai Bush a pair of binoculars. Tai Bush took it, looked into the distance for a moment, and laughed.
"This old thing has a backbone, has the person sent out to persuade him to surrender?"
"It should have arrived, but I haven't heard back yet."
"I thought that a man like him, who had betrayed his master, might have accepted surrender. However, judging from the current posture, it is estimated that it is hanging. ”
"He has no way out, the emperor will not give him a good end, and surrendering us is not something that people in his position are willing to accept. And a defeated general, what we can give him, I guess he can't look down on. ”
"Yes," the Tayi family pouted, "Anyway, try it, it won't cost anything." ”
————————————
"Let me surrender?" Paul Bell struck the drum for a while and sweated. He handed the drum hammer to the soldiers waiting nearby, and threw a cold reply to the soldiers who were waiting for orders.
"Tell them that I, Paul Chung, am not the kind of person who kneels down to the enemy!"
"I see, I'll do it," Tobias Paz nodded, turning and ordering. By the time he returned to Paul Chung, the commander was already dressed and looking at the conning tower across from him with a telescope.
"What are you thinking about that guy in the Tai family?"
For ease of command, the front-line conning towers on both sides were not far apart. In the face of the decisive battle, Paul Chung and Taijia Bush both chose to arrive at the front to command. This gives them the opportunity to see each other through a telescope.
"I guess it's how to celebrate when we win."
Tobias Paz was honest, frowning as he reported another piece of bad news.
"Your Excellency, your drums have boosted the morale of our soldiers, and the call just now was very good. However, the enemy seems to have sent reserves from the 17th and 19th armies, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
"I know," Bush wiped off the sweat with a towel, "as long as their steam cannons are dumb, the number doesn't matter." Our soldiers have been pressed for so long, once their steam cannons are broken, as soon as the strength that everyone is holding back in their hearts comes out, they will definitely be able to fight a defensive counterattack. ”
"Well, according to the latest statistics, they can now use less than ten steam cannons, and they do have a limited impact on our battle situation."
"Just wait, wait for their cannons to fire two more cannons, and then we'll rush out for a decisive battle!"
——————————
"Commander, according to the Weapons Research Institute, eight cannons have been repaired and can be used."
"Then send them all! The old guy on the other side can hold on until now, and wait for our steam cannons to blow up. Although this thing is easy to break, it can't stand up to us, so we have an expert with us. Throw these eight guns from the front, and pull all the broken but still good-looking guns over, and arrange for some soldiers to start cheering, telling them that we have another fifty guns! ”
"Okay Commander!" , Chief of Staff of the Eastern Front Command, Stefan Schgvar, nodded, turned around and ordered, and then turned back.
"Your Excellency, your hand is fake and true, and it is estimated that it will be recorded in military history."
"Haha, I'll talk about it when I win," said Bush Bush, picking up the binoculars again. He wanted to see if his orders would have the results he wanted.
——————————
Forty-two steam cannons pulled up from the rear really had a chemical reaction. Seeing that there were still so many steam cannons on their side, the Negru soldiers who had already fallen into the melee let out excited cheers. And the soldiers of the Western Theater of Operations who saw the enemy throwing in new steam cannons showed desperate looks on their faces. The reserves of the 17th Army and the 19th Army, which had just been put into the battlefield, seized the opportunity of a huge psychological gap between the two sides and smashed the enemy's last line of defense with one blow.
It was as if the originally strong levees had suddenly collapsed in the face of floods that exceeded their loads, as if the tall building blocks had been pulled off the lowest critical piece, and the army and soldiers of the Western Theater suddenly collapsed. They dropped their weapons, or fled, or surrendered. The situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant. In front of the army of the Neglo Republic, there were no more troops and soldiers than capable of resisting them.
"How could they have so many new cannons!"
Paul Zhong muttered to himself as he watched the situation on the battlefield collapse in an instant. Beside him, his guards had rushed up to take him out of the place where it was no longer safe. His subordinate, Tobias Paz, commander of the Second Legion, reached out and took his hand.
The old commander's hand was cool.
"Commander, you can't hesitate. Regardless of whether the enemy's steam cannon is real or fake, the fact that it has collapsed below cannot be changed. The battle has come to this point, and we have done our best. All we can do now is give up Chadra and go to Skye Hamm. There were sixty thousand men on his side, as well as trophies from steam machine guns. As long as someone has a weapon, we can get up anywhere. ”
"It can't be...... That's impossible...... They deceive !! ”
Paul Chung was still muttering to himself, but his guards and his cronies would no longer let him waste his time on a doomed battle. Half-pulled, half-dragged, they carried Paul Chung away from the high podium. And behind them, the soldiers of the Negro Republic have already charged.
——————————
"Your Highness, we're going to win!!!"
Standing on the high conning tower, looking at the cheering soldiers in the distance, Wenfeng Gibson was in a trance. In the past few months since he came to the northern front, he has experienced nothing but defeat, but also defeat. In his memory, it seems that there has never been a single joy of victory. Now, in the face of the sudden collapse of the enemy, he pinched his face in disbelief.
"Your Highness, it's true, we won, we won under your command! Congratulations!!! ”
The commander of the Central Military District, Barry McCartney, had a happy face. As the titular prefect of Prince Wenfeng, he has wiped Prince Wenfeng's ass more in the past few months than he has wiped on others' butts in his life. Fortunately, when they held on several times, counterattacked a few times, and routed a few times, their opponent, Prince Eliot, did not make too good progress.
"Won, really won......"
Wenfeng Gibson rubbed his face vigorously a few times, turned his head and asked McCartney.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Your Highness, you are the commander of this battle, and the next orders are given by you. I believe that after so many exercises, you will definitely be able to do a good job as a commander. ”
"Good!"
Seeing McCartney smiling and looking at his face, Prince Wenfeng also came to his senses. He raised his hand high and swung it forward with all his might.
"Pass my order, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and recover the Zidai Plain!!"
——————————
"Father, I failed."
Unlike Prince Wenfeng's joy, Karim Ronin, who lost the second battle of Neussam, once again knelt in front of his adoptive father.
"It doesn't matter if you lose, it's important to understand why you lost."
Charlie Ronin still looks calm, but he is older than he was two months ago. Even in the summer, he still wears a thin blanket on his legs, and wears a heavy jacket. Looking at the way he looks, it seems that some force has stripped all the heat from him.
"Father."
Karim shouted, but didn't speak. This time, he was greedy for merit, and after eating one of the enemy's forward troops, he planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Nossum in one go. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap of the little fox on the opposite side of Wen Feng and was eaten by an ambush. He was able to come back thanks to the desperate defense of his own guards. He had already reported to his father the whole battle, and he knew why he lost this battle, and his father knew it.
"The current situation is not good......"
Charlie Ronin did not continue on the issue of responsibility. He waved Karim to get up and pushed his wheelchair to the window. In the afternoon, Tongtai City was bathed in the hot sun, and the whole revealed a warmth.
"Ronninger's foundation is still too thin, and we are fighting like this, and the economy in the rear is a little unbearable. I originally wanted to win quickly, but I didn't expect the enemy to take out something like an iron shield breastwall. At our current level of weapons, the loss of this kind of defense is too great, and the terrain is needed to go around, so it is not so easy to fight. ”
"No problem, father, we will definitely win this war", Karim Ronin did not know what his father meant by saying this to himself. He replied cautiously, pondering the deep meaning behind it.
"Yesterday, Paul sent someone to see me", Charlie Ronin looked out the window, his voice too small to be heard. Karim looked at the sparse white hair on the top of his father's head, and suddenly realized that he was no longer the mighty Grand Duke of Glacier.
He said that now that Negro and Alonte are enemies, Ankenrein is likely to lose the country if he continues to suffer from internal friction. He asked me if I would like to surrender, and promised to give me a prince of peace to ensure that I would have no worries about food and clothing in the next life. ”
Charlie Ronin calmly threw out a message. He raised his hand and pressed down on his son's arm, who was holding his wheelchair.
"Son, do you say, should I agree?"
