Chapter 128: Conquering the Lost Land
The reconnaissance unit was not able to return for a while, but the construction of the army was still very smooth, and it took nearly four years to talk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Finally, the 4th Army was armed, with a total of 9 mechanized infantry corps, and 3 armored corps, and the number of tanks reached nearly 1,000, not including those armored vehicles, automobiles, and towed artillery.
It was possible to create so many tanks, first of all, these tanks were not very advanced, all of them were first-generation tanks.
It is too untechnological for the Tianhan Kingdom, but if you want to be armed with the fastest speed, you must first build these backward generation tanks.
Although the army has been replaced with new equipment, they still need to train, and only 6 mechanized infantry regiments and 2 armored regiments have completed training.
It will take a short time to fully exert its combat effectiveness.
In addition to this, the Air Force has also developed a little, and now it already has a brigade with a total of 100 first-generation aircraft.
There are not many of them, the pilots do not have real combat experience, and when they encounter an experienced enemy air force, they will basically be hanged.
But at present, no country on the gray star has an air force, and it is impossible to threaten the air force of the Tianhan Kingdom.
The navy is also developing rapidly, and the formation of the ironclad fleet was quickly completed, and it is still in the training stage, and it can be put into actual combat.
Now the Tianhan Kingdom is not in a hurry to start a war, after all, it is still in the truce period, and if you declare war easily, you need at least a suitable reason.
Not only that, Lin Xiao has been keeping an eye on the Gulf States, and it has been a week since they sent troops to hunt down their reconnaissance forces last time.
The fact that those soldiers did not disappear inexplicably also made him strange and even incomprehensible.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Judging from the information obtained, there may be another possibility......
Even so, it can't hinder his next plan, using Xia Qi's reputation as a royal family of the Middle Earth Kingdom to restore the lost territory and liberate the civilians here.
This reason was so well-founded that even the nobles could not find a reason to refute it.
For this plan, the Tianhan Kingdom has been preparing to establish its own power in the areas occupied by various countries and incite civilians to build momentum.
Of course, they are very small for the garrisons of various countries and cannot make big waves.
However, the goal of the Tianhan Kingdom has been achieved, and the lost territory has been recovered in the name of Zhengda Guangming, and the will to fight of the garrisons of various countries is not very high.
In their opinion, this is always someone else's territory, and there is no reason for them to defend desperately, and their enthusiasm for fighting is naturally not high.
In this case, 3 light infantry regiments stationed on the border of the Tianhan Kingdom launched an attack on the Kingdom of Os.
The Oss Kingdom is the weakest of the four kingdoms, and its territory also borders the Tianhan Kingdom, and although they have developed over the years, their overall military strength has not increased much quickly.
The industrial base was originally poor, and in order to guard against the Tianhan Kingdom, a large number of troops were stationed on the border, which also required a lot of military spending.
It is a heavy burden for countries that are not rich, let alone develop their military strength.
Their current level is not even the worst light infantry legion in the Tianhan Kingdom, and their only advantage is that they are numerous.
When the three light infantry legions of the Han Kingdom launched an attack, only a few troops that were close to each other reacted and hurriedly resisted the sudden attack of the Heavenly Han Kingdom.
Because they have been stationed on the border for such a long time, they have built a lot of trenches here, and after a few years of inexperience, these trenches have become very strong.
It's a pity that they don't have machine guns, so they can't give full play to the role of the trenches.
This tactic was also used by the Oss Kingdom, but under the machine gun position organized by the army of the Tianhan Kingdom, there were heavy casualties, and the officers led by them were dealt with by military law.
Therefore, this tactic was listed as taboo by many officers, but they did not expect that it could exert such great power in the hands of the army of the Tianhan Kingdom.
The Oss soldiers in the trenches were basically stupid when they saw a large group of people rushing over, and even if they shot and shot, they could only cause small losses to the other side if they could not form a dense barrage.
Then a large number of Tianhan soldiers charged and took the position.
The extremely strong position fell into the hands of the Tianhan National Army in the blink of an eye, and the defense line was also torn open, and the officers of the Oss Kingdom did not even react.
After breaking through the defensive line organized by the Ao Kingdom, the legions of the Tianhan State Army elsewhere contained the opposing Ao Kingdom army and attacked this breakthrough point.
The direction of the attack was not too far from the first point, and the defensive line formed by the Oss army became the second battlefield.
It is equivalent to piercing the defense line of the Oss Kingdom with two arrows, and it can be clearly seen from the satellite map that the two light infantry legions have penetrated into the first line of defense and surrounded the enemy army in the middle.
This caused a great deal of panic among the Ostic troops in the encirclement, which meant that their logistics were cut off.
Logistics is the lifeblood of an army, no matter how strong an army is, it will not last long without logistics, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Oss is not very high.
The commanders of the Kingdom of Oss also drew troops from the second line of defense to come to the rescue, and the tens of thousands of troops who were surrounded were also struggling to break through.
But this still didn't help, and the reinforcements of the Tianhan army were also coming in a steady stream, arranging a firepower network to block the reinforcements of the Oss Kingdom who wanted to support outside, and at the same time extinguishing the attempts of the army inside the encirclement to break through.
Now, even if the Tianhan army is not sending reinforcements, it will take at least a week or two for the Oss Kingdom to break through this impregnable encirclement, and it will be as long as a month.
This is very fatal for an army that has been cut off from logistics, not to mention morale, and it is not certain whether these soldiers will be able to stand up after a month.
The Tianhan army did not waste time and contracted the encirclement, and the encircled army saw this, so it had no choice but to launch the last and largest breakthrough battle.
The gunfire continued from morning to afternoon, and the three light infantry regiments, at the cost of nearly 1,000 casualties, killed 5,000 enemy generals and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, in less than a week.
This was the first victory of the Tianhan Kingdom since the beginning of the war, and it greatly damaged the morale of the army of the Oss Kingdom.
The footsteps of the Tianhan army did not stop because of this victory, dividing the battlefield and gradually cutting off the connection between the troops of the Oss Kingdom.
Their contact information is still very backward, the radio has not yet appeared, and after being cut off, it is not easy to get in touch, which gives the Tianhan National Army a chance to break through one by one.
