Chapter 65 Five years are approaching
At the same time that the Qin Feng Imperial Army was launching a general attack on the Shenlong Empire army entrenched in Pegasus City, the last combat strength of the Shenlong Empire was also gathering in the border area between the two countries, and a war that had staked the fortunes of the country was about to begin.
However, at this time, what was waiting for them on the border was the Tiger and Wolf Army of the 100,000 Qin Feng Empire and an extremely strong ultimate line of defense. In front of this line is a mixed minefield 5 kilometers deep, deployed with a large number of modern anti-tank and anti-infantry mines that the fortress has looted from other planes, which will definitely surprise the attackers! Of course, barbed wire and searchlights are indispensable options for the defense line.
Two battalions of heavy anti-tank fighting vehicles armed with Ferdinand heavy tank destroyers and a regiment of Flake18 88-mm high-level dual-purpose guns are an absolute nightmare for tanks! In order to strengthen the defense, Li Feng also decided to mobilize a large number of engineering materials such as cement and steel plates to build the trenches into semi-permanent fortifications. In addition, an artillery regiment with 150-mm K18 heavy guns was deployed for long-range fire support at all times. In order to be on the safe side, 1 heavy tank division was also deployed as a mobile reserve, and if the other party really dared to fight, it would definitely be abused and ugly!
At this time, the reinforcements of the Shenlong Empire were the well-equipped Imperial Forbidden Army, the most powerful armed force in the Empire. However, although the quality of the army defending the capital is very high, because they have almost no experience in war, their mastery of new weapons is not as good as that of the local armies participating in the expedition.
When the troops finally arrived at the border between the two countries, the arrogant commander of the forbidden army, the Earl of the Holy Rank powerhouse, gave the order for a general attack without even sending someone to scout. As a result, it was naturally struck by the solid foundation of the mines, and it was also severely knocked by the long-range artillery that beat the autumn wind. The first attacking force was thus defeated and retreated. At least 50 tanks of various types and 10,000 officers and men of the troops did this and died in confusion and died under the double blow of minefields and artillery.
At this time, Li Feng felt that the idiocy of this Shenlong Empire was really unusual, and such a mentally handicapped person could be the commander-in-chief and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Their emperor's head must have been broken by the door when he was a child, could it be that such an important rescue mission should be handed over to such a stupid ×!
Of course, Li Feng didn't know that this commander's records were all fake, and the corruption of the empire was even more serious than he imagined, and the truly talented people were suppressed to death by the rich and powerful aristocratic class. Even their emperor and these guys dare to lie, how high do you expect their discipline to be! His Excellency the Commander had only participated in a few battles, that is, the elimination of several third-rate bandits around the capital, and the suppression of a low-intensity operation of armed peasant revolt. The other party has nothing to praise at all, all of them are to snatch the results of his subordinates and colleagues.
Although it is true that there is no fraud in one's own strength, it is completely different from fighting alone and commanding large-scale battles. The opponent's enemies with low combat effectiveness may be able to push them through in waves without brains, but once the strength is equal to or surpasses their own, the result is another matter. The empire has decayed to the point of no return, and this war has only accelerated the process.
As a result, in the next few attacks, not only did there be no results, but they were beaten very miserably by the Qin Feng Empire's troops who had been fully prepared for a long time. Almost all of the armored units were reimbursed as targets by the heavy anti-tank battalions deployed here and the 88-mm guns deployed in the positions. The front armor of the Stalin 2 heavy tank and the T34 tank was as fragile as tofu and could be easily penetrated.
The enemy's attacking infantry units soon collapsed completely under a dense range of light and heavy firepower, and the Janissaries, numbering more than 100,000 men, lost almost half of their strength after a few battles. That's when the idiot commander realized that he was probably kicking the iron plate. I wanted to take this opportunity to go further, but it looks like I'm going to go off the line this time.
After considering the third, it was decided to mobilize the ace unit of the Shenlong Empire, the Dragoon Regiment, to fight, and the biggest feature of this force was that it had more than a dozen low-level fire dragons. Although it can't be compared with those high-level dragons on Dragon Island, it is enough to deal with ordinary armies on the mainland. Moreover, all dragon knights must reach the primary strength of the Holy Rank to be eligible to join this force. The fire dragon also needs to go to Dragon Island to participate in the trial to get it, and the process is extremely difficult, and it is not so easy to pass! But the rewards are also very generous! The treatment of becoming a member of the dragoon regiment is not ordinarily good, and it is second only to the general existence of the royal family.
Each attack by this force resulted in a one-sided slaughter, reversing countless battlefield crises. It's a pity that they picked the wrong opponent this time, and what awaits them will be the final end of the battle, and since then, the terrifying dragoon regiment on the continent has been completely destroyed.
The sudden fire dragon did bring a lot of damage to the front line, and its own rough skin and thick flesh combined with a very heavy layer of armor on its body, ordinary light weapons had no effect on them at all. Although Li Feng made some preparations in advance, the attack of these big lizards came too suddenly, and before the troops could react, they caused irreparable damage to the position.
In particular, the dragon magic and high-temperature flames of these fire dragons caused a large number of casualties among the troops on the battlefield, even the steel-like chariots could not withstand such high temperatures, and the people inside were directly roasted into human dryness. Soon, the ammunition inside was detonated by the heat of the dragon flame, and the chariot was blown apart in an instant. The opponent unscrupulously launched round after round of raids on the ground in the air, almost turning the entire defense line into a lava hell.
There were burning flames everywhere and fragments of the explosion of the chariot after it was overturned, and the various light and heavy guns on the position had nothing to do with these thick-skinned fire dragons, and they could not even break the skin except to provoke bursts of sparks on them, and the anti-tank combat vehicles, although their firepower was strong, could not attack air targets at all. The 88 artillery can be used against the air, but unfortunately, the high-speed movement of the fire dragon causes the artillery to be unable to aim at the target at all, and it is completely unable to keep up with the opponent's speed. The result can only be a futile shooting, with no effect at all.
As for attacking the knights above the fire dragon, it would be even more difficult, and besides, the Holy Rank masters were so easy to kill! The remaining Praetorian Guards in the distance also seized this opportunity to launch a counterattack here, but the other side did not have to be arrogant for long, and the bad day came. When they landed again to make a big kill, the nets specially prepared for them flew like snowflakes.
The opponent was caught before he even had time to react, and some of them flew into the sky to avoid the attack, but these nets followed the opponent like they had eyes, and they didn't finish until they hit them. And the high-temperature flames, which can melt steel, can't burn these filaments, which are not much thicker than a human hair. The more they struggled, the tighter they became, and even some of the nets had been embedded in the bones of the fire dragon, and they were all tied into zongzi one by one. Then they were beaten violently by the troops who rushed in, but they were beaten out of anger, so all kinds of shells, grenades, and guns of all kinds crackled and beckoned.
The elite of the empire was so aggrieved that it exploded into piles of mud and minced meat, and in the end, the people who cleaned up the corpses couldn't tell which meat belonged to dragons and which belonged to dragon knights. Only a few clever points shouted surrender in time to save them from the doom of becoming fertilizer for the earth. The end of this elite army is one word "miserable"!
And these capture nets to deal with fire dragons have been the second generation of products developed by the fortress, although the improved products are not as portable as the first generation, but the range has been increased several times, and the launch method is like a shoulder-fired bazooka. And it also has an automatic aim tracking function, as long as the sight is locked when firing, the opponent will not want to escape the fate of being captured even if he runs to the ends of the earth.
As a result, the opposing attacking troops were routed in Zaiji, and the remaining equipment was reimbursed. Of the more than 100,000 elite troops, less than 10,000 people were able to escape back in the end. And the idiot commander of the Praetorian Army was also blown to pieces by the dense fire of the self-propelled artillery regiment during this attack. Of course, Li Feng would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he sent an armored unit to chase after him on the minefield passage that had been reserved a long time ago, and the result was that no one of this force fled back to China, and all of them were buried in the territory of the Qin Feng Empire.
At this time, the battle of Pegasus City had entered the most critical moment, and after losing almost a complete 1 heavy armored division and 2 mechanized infantry divisions, it finally took all the opponent's peripheral positions, and annihilated more than 80,000 enemies, completely eliminating the opponent's self-propelled artillery units and almost all armored forces. Now the remaining remnants of the opposing side were surrounded in Pegasus City, and the troops then began a full-scale siege. However, after storming the city, he encountered a little trouble in the last stronghold, which was the largest warehouse in Pegasus City, the Rock Warehouse.
I don't know which bastard built this grain depot in the first place, but it actually used the strongest steel stone on the continent. Artillery of various models hit a small pit on it, and it cannot be broken at all. Li Feng was also depressed: "How did they cut such a solid rock in the first place? "But at this time, I'm afraid it's useless to think about this, it's important to find a way to take this place. And the most outrageous thing is that this warehouse doesn't even have a window to enter and exit one place.
And the other side blocked the exit with two Stalin 2 heavy tanks and a large number of sandbags, and the troops could not rush through at all. After clearing all the light and heavy fire points around the stronghold, various blasting operations began, and finally the place was blown up in the sky at a cost of 50 tons of C4. Finally, the war, which lasted for more than a month, came to an end. When cleaning up the wreckage after the war, I realized that it was all big fish, and all the senior generals, including the marshal of the opposing party, were served in one pot. Li Feng sighed: "No wonder there are not many big officials among the captives, so they are reimbursed here!" ”
Originally, Li Feng planned to completely destroy the scourge of the Divine Dragon Empire in one go. However, the arrival of the main force of the Shenwu Empire also completely disrupted Li Feng's plan. Li Feng didn't know the fact that the Shenlong Empire had become a puppet under the coercion of the Shenwu Empire at this time. However, it is not wise to fight the other party now, so in the end, Li Feng decided to stop the attack and put back all the nobles who were captured, so that they can continue to plague this empire on the verge of destruction! As for the captured soldiers, let them honestly dig in the pits! This was the end of the war between the two countries.
At this time, the Elven Empire was also beaten to the point of being almost finished. Except for the Imperial City, all the cities fell to the ground. At the same time, after learning that the allies had been defeated, they also sent ambassadors to negotiate peace. However, Li Feng didn't want this kind of ending. Only two choices were given to the other side, either surrender or we continue to fight. Li Feng: "I want to see how long the ancient war tree in your royal city can last, and if you provoke me, I will transfer the Dora cannon to see if you can still bear it." ”
In the end, the queen of the Elven Empire, Ewell, had no choice but to announce her surrender in this situation. knew that he shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of those humans in the Shenlong Empire in the first place, and he almost ended up destroying the country and destroying the race. Finally, in the royal city, Li Feng and the queen of the elven clan signed an armistice treaty after a day of negotiations.
Subsequently, under Li Feng's military threat, he had no choice but to sign a treaty of merger between the two countries. Although the elders and ministers in the country protested and opposed fiercely, they could not twist their arms around their thighs, and finally had to acquiesce to this humiliating treaty.
At this time, all the captured elven clansmen, except for a few high-level saint-level old stubborns, were all released back to the original place of the elven kingdom. In order to appease the other party, Li Feng decided to implement a high degree of autonomy in the territory of the Elven Kingdom in accordance with the practice of later generations. In addition to military diplomacy, the other party is allowed to have a certain degree of autonomy, and only the title is changed, and the queen can still continue to be in office. Subsequently, a large number of troops of the Qin Feng Empire were stationed in the entire territory of the former Elf Empire, completing the final annexation.
On a whim, Li Feng decided to create a new department, the Environmental Protection Bureau, a department composed almost entirely of elves. Li Feng: "With these guys who love the environment so much, they will definitely be able to complete the task of supervising environmental protection." For this reason, Li Feng decided to give them a lot of power, as long as they found problems, they had the right to ask the project to be rectified.
However, in order to prevent them from being overly environmentally friendly, each EPA will have a few people recruited by Li Feng on the fort as technical advisers, and through these people, they will report directly. If the existing technical conditions can be rectified, they will be changed, and if they cannot be realized, they can be reported directly to Noah, and she will allocate relevant equipment and equipment for treatment.
Relying on the technology of the fortress, many projects that were heavily polluted during the industrial revolution were changed to pollution-free environmental protection equipment for later generations. And the cars on the mainland also use hybrid energy vehicles powered by solar energy and Noah's synthetic artificial magic crystal ore. At this time, the construction of highways and railways across the country has also begun to start on all lines, and it will not be long before the transportation network that runs through the whole country will be fully realized.
Plans to build a national grid are also on the agenda, with large hydropower and solar power plants springing up across the country. These evolutions of modernization continued until the day of the outbreak of the Second Antiquity War, and the civilian realm of the entire Qinfeng Empire was almost at the level of the early 21st century on Earth.
At this time, the military industry was gradually established in an all-round way, and in order to keep secrets, a large number of new tank production lines and gun production lines were distributed in the mountains. Although it was a little difficult to transport, it was all worth it in order to stop the omnipresent spies of the Shenwu Empire!
Li Feng discovered through satellites that the strength of the Shenwu Empire is getting stronger day by day, and the current army already has a large number of Stalin III heavy tanks and a small number of Stalin 4 heavy tanks. In terms of artillery, even Katyusha rocket launchers and S-51 self-propelled guns began to be mass-produced.
On the other side's navy, the other side has also built a large shipyard and two large military ports. And the construction of various American destroyers and frigates of the beginning of World War II began. In addition, the other party seems to be developing some kind of long-range missile in the mountains, and according to Li Feng's guess, it is likely to be a weapon such as the V2 missile of Germany in World War II.
And the other side has also built a large number of biplane fighters in the air force, although it still looks primitive, but for this primitive continent this is enough. At this time, several major roads and railways in the other country were also under intense construction. According to the current speed of development, it will not be long before the other party will have the strength to unify the entire continent. It's a pity that if Li Feng didn't come to stir up the situation, maybe the other party could really succeed!
At the same time, the Shenwu Empire began to build several large and strong military fortresses in the border areas between the two countries, which were equipped with a large number of various types of artillery, and the soldiers were complete and the weapons were complete. It is definitely a hard bone to gnaw on the battlefield in the future.
At this time, the war between the Light and Dark Empires has evolved into a bloody war that never stops, and the battle between the two sides has made the Shenwu Empire make a lot of money. Even Li Feng actually found that a large number of T-43 tanks and KV1 and KV2 tanks appeared on the battlefield, Li Feng: "Are they going to fight a World War II!" And the war between the two countries continued until the day of the outbreak of the Second Antiquity War!
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and the two countries are desperately developing their respective strengths and preparing for a day of confrontation. Finally, the Shenwu Empire made a crazy move to change the pattern of the continent, which eventually led directly to the gods joining the battle, so the Second Ancient War broke out completely!
