Chapter 313: Retreat
Wayne also quickly learned the news of the loss of Cangjiang's cashback, which was also expected. The reason why he still insists on it is nothing more than to come up with some special planes.
And the impact of the loss of Cangjiang will definitely be more than just the retreat of the defensive line, I am afraid that Nolan is now panicking.
"Marquis Beard, have you heard that the Cangjiang defense line has been lost!"
Beard, who was rushing to Wayne's residence, looked at the questioner like a fool, as if to say, don't you see where I'm going? How could it not be known?
At the same time, reporters also flocked to Wayne's residence. And Wayne was ready for that kind of scene. Immediately shut these people out. In the afternoon, he gave a speech on the main square in downtown Nolan.
I have applied to Parliament for the formation of a provisional government, and this complex and effective provisional organization in wartime will make the most of the power we should have. The Wartime Act will also continue to be resolutely enforced.
The loss of the Cangjiang defense line is not something to regret or regret so far. We will engage the enemy in the vicinity of Blue Los Angeles, while the Second and Fourth Armies will be urgently deployed. I am confident that the area around Nolan and Vasser will be protected, resolutely and thoroughly.
........
Temporary defeat is the only way to victory, and victory will be on the side of justice and freedom.
The speech was surprisingly good, giving a brief explanation of the current situation to the public, and also contributing to the formation of a provisional cabinet in wartime. This would be much more effective than the Wartime Act, and Wayne would not have to wait for parliamentary approval for everything.
The war correspondent of the Nolan Times also followed the retreat of the main force that day. Write truthfully on paper.
Cangjiang is destined to be a place of sadness and regret, and in this bloody battle that lasted for more than 10 days, I saw the formidable determination and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the First Group Army. In the pouring rain, they endured discomfort and fought the enemy in close combat. I've seen countless scenes of soldiers rolling down hillsides to save the enemy before they die, and I've seen commanders at the grassroots level stay up for three days for a small high ground. It is a pity that Heaven is not destined to pity the efforts of this army, and despite all this effort, we have to admit that this proud and unyielding army has suffered a crushing defeat here.
Beson retreated all the way to Lan Luo, and after that, he couldn't retreat any further. This is because this is the last passage between the northwest and the Niels territory. If this place is still penetrated, then the Northwest and Niels Territory will be split in two, and the noble army will be able to break through one by one. So this may be the last line of defense.
The first, second, and fourth armies gathered here, as well as the Dragon's Breath and the Iron Shield Legion. The surrounding city has long been hollowed out.
On the huge sand table, Bessen swept through the cities without listening. This time, he didn't plan to defend a city, and the Magister would hit himself even harder like last time, it was too dangerous. Now he wants to divide all his troops into zero, and take regiments and brigades as units and move around the land within a radius of 100 kilometers.
Of course, Dragon's Breath and Iron Shield can't do this, they are still the ancient legion system. Soldiers only recognize their generals, not their duties. They could not have imagined that a group army could immediately change the personnel structure of the army with a single order. At the same time, it is also a point of envy for them, such as making an arm-waving army who does not want.
"Now there are only 30,000 men left in the First Army, plus the Second Army. We can get together up to 12 brigades. For the convenience of command, all twelve brigades were numbered, from one to twelve. Assign all the mages to the Iron Shield and Dragon's Breath Corps, and they may not be part of our battle. ”
Marshall and Marston looked embarrassed, they had just heard the battle plan for Besson. It is estimated that only the group army dares to continue such frequent and long-distance maneuvers. For the two corps, if they do anything, they may not have encountered the enemy yet, and the team will basically disperse.
And they are also curious about where the Third Army has gone, and there are still lord armies that are not going to use it. They also asked, but Besson refused on the grounds of military secrecy. This made Marshall and Mars very unhappy, and the two of them still had secrets to hide from them at this level. But Beson insisted, and they couldn't have asked hard.
After the meeting was adjourned, everyone left in a hurry and hurried back to the unit to announce the results of the meeting.
Mars and Marshall walked together a little lonely, and the next battle may not be for them. The role is to make a little help on the side. Of course, this is also inevitable, and no large army will benefit from facing a magister. Only the kind of troops that can fight and retreat, and have a large number of people, will be like a fish in water in the next battle.
"Marshall, I may also change the Iron Shield Army, and today when I saw the deployment of the group army, I realized how backward we are. It's time for the Legion to roll out the stage of history. ”
Stanley said half-emotionally, half-melancholy. His hesitation can be seen, which is very much in conflict with his resolute words.
"I'm not in a hurry, it's still not easy to make big moves in wartime."
Marshall replied with a smile.
Stanley asked.
"And what about after the war?"
Marshall did not answer directly.
"If Stanley remembers correctly, I'm about fifteen years older than you now. Speaking of which, when I touched the knife, you weren't born yet. ”
Stanley laughed, but then his laughter quieted down, as if he understood something.
"You're saying you're going to..."
Stanley didn't dare to say what happened next.
Marshall nodded.
"Since you want to retreat, you have to retreat completely, the future belongs to young people, and I still don't want to stand in front of them."
Soon the aristocratic army pushed over, and after the battle of Cangjiang, the aristocratic army swept away the decadent momentum and had a high fighting spirit. In their opinion, they have defeated the First Army, so what do they have to be afraid of.
On the other hand, Stanley and Sipley were also eager to make meritorious contributions, although they commanded the battle of Cangjiang by the side. But in reality, they didn't really do much. At least no troops were sent to land. Those noble lords don't care about this, they will only see which army has lost the most and who will capture the Cangjiang defense line in the end.
Now there is already criticism of the two of them in the rear.
"Two-faced grass, I still don't want to offend Wayne, I guess I want to go back and ask for some benefits in front of Wayne's kid when I am defeated."
"They will only cherish their own legions and send our soldiers to the front to die."
"I don't know when these two legions plan to make a move, and I haven't seen them contribute in the first battle of Cangjiang. I don't know if the two of them secretly received the benefits of Wayne. We don't know if they have received it, after all, they are even on the front line and have great power, who dares to report them. ”
