Chapter 8: The Fall of Mima
One to ten, ten to hundred.
A large number of refugees from Charlton fled to the south, rags and running to tell each other. The news of the southern invasion of the independent Soviet army was spreading rapidly, and the entire southern part of the Islamic Union was boiling.
As for the situation of the independent Soviet army, the refugees really did not dare to compliment it, and they were already frightened by the bloody scene, and they basically replied: "The independent army, thousands of them, will kill anyone they see." ”
The so-called tens of thousands, the refugees have different accounts, because they don't actually know how many lone troops there are, and they are desperately trying to escape, without paying close attention at all. Some say it's 30,000, some say 300,000, and some say 3 million!
And killing people on sight is the only fact that they are right, and when the lone army invades the city of Charlton, they desperately raise their bayonets against everything in the city, and the corpses of the entire city are piled up and the blood is flowing like a river. The refugees were horrified to describe the horrific images to the citizens of other cities, and the entire army was rendered as murderous demons, causing discomfort and fear among the listeners.
Fear permeated everyone's hearts.
The Snow Eagle Brigade also took advantage of the victory, and Michelia blocked a thousand soldiers and horses behind the Gran Fortress, trying to cut off the connection between the Gran Fortress and the southern part of Isu, at this moment, Mario and their main forces also launched the most violent suicidal attack on the Gran Fortress, and they tried by all means to paralyze the Gran defenders. The remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four ways by her troops to continue to launch a large-scale attack, and it was a taboo for the commander to rashly lead the troops to go deep alone when the troops were insufficient, and Michelia's move was even more severe in the face of those military art and so-called military theorists, which attracted controversy from countless critics in later generations. The admiration for her was overflowing, and the detractors said that she was bold and confused, and did not pay attention to the rules. But no matter what, the result of her actions is absolutely phenomenal and unbeatable.
The Fourth Route Detachment launched an attack on a nearby city, bewitched by the fleeing citizens, or instigated by some people. When all the citizens saw the cavalry and the Soviet-Soviet troops, they fled in fear.
In less than half a day, more than a dozen nearby cities were captured. The captured program was largely empty. Not because they were also slaughtered by the lone army, but because the whole city had fled. The ground was littered with corpses that had been trampled to death. The Independence Army is not wasted at all.
Gran Fortress.
The artillery is like a stream of fire in the sky, ferociously devouring the scorched surface of the entire outer layer of the fortress, but the entire Dusu death squad is scattered and gradually infiltrates the outer layer, and the role of Bonaparte's artillery unit has also been reduced a lot.
Although Michelia has tried to cut off the two places, the news inevitably reaches Jamie.
Jamie felt that the battle was already in hand, and he asserted that the charge of the Dusu was nothing more than a death throes, so when he heard the news that "the Dusu had broken through to Gran and invaded the south", his first reaction was: What are you kidding? Gran is fine, today is not April Fool's Day.
After all, the Dusu people on the opposite side have been developing towards the thinking he thinks about, and with the danger of the Gran Fortress, it is impossible to open the gate, not to mention that it has broken through, and the Dusu army is now attacking. Saying that he has broken through Gran, doesn't this mean that he is incompetent, nakedly insulting him, or even cursing him to death?
U'ul, on the other hand, fled to the nearby Gaza Military Region, the largest military district in southern Iraq, which is also garrisoned by three mixed divisions of about 32,000 troops. But they are all very weak and have low military quality, after all, the main forces of the entire Iranian Union have been transferred to the north to fight for independence.
Uru had come to report on the military situation, along with the mayors and government officials of more than a dozen nearby cities, and their expressions were as frightened as Urwu. But as soon as they arrived, they did not know what to say, for they had no information of value to the lone army, and at the suggestion of their superiors, they could only use their magical imagination to exaggerate their own perception of the situation by a factor of three.
He is the mayor of Charlton Athletic and a first-hand witness to the Charlton massacre. His words still had a lot of credibility, and his words were eventually defined by the authorities as the basic situation of the independent Soviet army, and as the last speech he skillfully maintained the same as the other mayors, and this military information was immediately sent to the presidential office in the capital Mima.
Servi's eyes were hollow, and cold sweat was oozing from his back. As the president of Yso, he looked at the documents transmitted under his hand:
According to reliable information, the fortress of Gran was broken through by the independent army, and the independent army attacked on a large scale, Charlton, Fona, but more than a dozen cities such as Rosa have been occupied by the independent army, and the independent army has a strong army, with a minimum estimate of 100,000 people. Everywhere they went, they were slaughtered.
"100,000 people," he muttered, 100,000 troops, and now the regular troops in the entire southern part of the Isu are less than 40,000 troops, how can they resist such a powerful lone army.
He really regretted it, and at this time, the detachments of the four-way lone army had already converged, and they were rapidly advancing towards Mima.
"Your Excellency the President, the top priority at the moment is to flee to the coast of Inan first, take a boat to take refuge in the Su, and organize a government-in-exile!" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes said that he looked a few years younger than Ervi, with a thin face and slightly sunken eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to the south coast and go to the Rot, but I can't catch up, the independent army will attack soon. Servie said in horror.
"Your Excellency, why don't you let me stay and negotiate with the independent army, and buy you time. The middle-aged man said.
"Yes, Betansh, you are my most loyal old subordinate. Selvie exclaimed with excitement, as if he had grasped the best straw. He and Bettensh exchanged some contents, and immediately fled Mima under the leadership of the guards, and before fleeing, he also gathered all the remaining troops, and also entangled a large number of militia, police, and security guards. A total of 50,000 men and horses escorted the president, who claimed to go to the port of Cruz on the south coast to establish a wartime government and organize all the troops, which meant that the entire central economic region of the capital was completely a shelled egg, losing the last trace of defense.
He righteously said to the people around him: "The army is the last hope of the country, and I want to organize a living force to carry out a tactical counterattack against the independent Soviet Union, so I must lead the army to a strategic retreat." The implication is that the people, who are not the last hope of the country, are asking for more blessings.
As the president's first assistant, he exaggerated the president's glorification and declared that he would start peace talks with the independence of the Soviet Union, and that everything would be well developed.
A large number of refugees poured into Mima, and Bettensh and his men gave these refugees great benefits, basically food and shelter, after all, the entire treasury was now in his hands. Many of the refugees did not continue south, and all of them lived in the old town, where there was bread and milk. First, they were so hungry that they couldn't walk, second, they really rarely enjoyed this kind of welfare, and third, they were tormented by desperate fleeing, and many of them were desperate and numb.
Although many people continued to flee, when the Soviet-independent army came to Mima the next morning, there were still more than 600,000 people in Mima, the magnificent capital of the Islamic Union.
The white flags fluttered on the city walls, and the city gates were generously opened. This was not an empty plan, the Snow Eagle Brigade entered Mima in three columns, and as soon as they entered the city gate, it was Bettensh, who looked heavy-faced, facing Michelia. Countless terrified eyes in the city looked at them as if they were terrifying the devil.
Although Bettensh's face was heavy, Michelia could see the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, and you could imagine how excited he was inside.
Michelia was just about to speak, but Bettensh knelt down and wept earnestly: "Marshal, on behalf of the government of the Islamic Union, I formally surrender to the Soviet, the outbreak of war is our fault, and I will do whatever the marshal wants me to do! But I implore the marshal not to slaughter innocent citizens, they are innocent!" I don't know how serious that tone is.
Michelia was stunned, and thought to herself: Surrendering to the enemy because of a request not to slaughter the city is really higher than betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy.
On September 10, 357 A.D., Mima, the capital of the Isu Kingdom, fell.
