Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 61 Decapitation (I)
The captured general was named Ku Kawasaki, a native of the Toei Kingdom. The Dongying Kingdom is the leader state of the rebellious vassal states.
As the vanguard commander of the rebels, Hideyoshi Langchen soon received the news that his own award, Jiu Kawasaki, had been captured by the enemy, and the arrival of more follow-up news directly made him scold.
This Jiu Kawasaki saw that the army of the National Dynasty was afraid of the battle, so he thought of a dangerous move, and scattered all parts of the entire army too widely, so he was caught by the Daohuang National Dynasty troops and captured the king with one blow, which led to the forced halt of the entire general attack plan.
You must know that in the face of the behemoth of the Daohuang Dynasty, the victory of the fighter is fleeting, and if you want to win the goal you want, you must gain a certain advantage before the dynasty reacts to negotiate with the empire.
Well, now that his spearhead has been interrupted, not to mention that the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army has arrived. Even though it was only a cavalry unit, it was the mighty Northern Expeditionary Army after all!
Hideyoshi was not confident that he would be able to defeat these fierce men who had come out of the Shura Hell with his troops and equipment.
Therefore, the operational policy must be changed immediately, and many of the things prepared in the early stage must be abolished.
Hideyoshi Langchen soon sent the men in the rear to the Southern Luoya Empire, which supported them, for help.
Yes, this war in the Eastern Kingdom was provoked by the South Loya Empire. The part of the people who used the Eastern Living Meteorite to live for immortality was too small within the Empire, so they wanted to find a hound of their own abroad.
Imperial support soon arrived by air, the first batch of heavy tanks totaling several hundred.
If this force is invested in the next battle, then the Daohuang Dynasty will have a corresponding response, Hideyoshi Langchen now thinks about it, and it seems that there is another hidden reason for the capture of Jiu Kawasaki.
It's just that there is no time now, and the Northern Expeditionary Army has been ordered to go to the south for nearly a month, and even if it finds any more reason, the Northern Expeditionary Army should send at least one legion here to quell the rebellion.
Originally, he planned to take at least one big city before the Northern Expeditionary Army came to the battlefield on a large scale, and rely on the big city to resist the impact of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
It's too late now, and it shouldn't be easy for that new character named Yang Guangdao to come.
The next day, he had his trained crew drive a heavy tank backed by the Empire to the front.
When these five-meter-tall giant steel creations appeared on the battlefield, except for the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the army led by Yang Guangdao, the rest of the troops almost subconsciously pushed back a few steps.
After a short discussion, the cavalry generals were responsible for pinning down the enemy's armored forces head-on, while Yang Guangdao led his men to attack from the flanks, and the rest of the troops were just fine.
The cavalry immediately changed their equipment, asked the Taoist priests and attendants to hang up the Dao armor, and then immediately launched a ferocious joint assault on the enemy.
With the sacrifice of more than 20 cavalrymen, the Northern Expeditionary cavalry successfully divided the rebels' heavy tank troops, and Yang Guangdao saw the opportunity and immediately led the Yongzi battalion in his army to attack the divided tanks immediately.
The soldiers at the forefront carried huge Daofa shields, and the follow-up troops followed closely behind the shield soldiers in front.
During this period, the Taoist priests who accompanied the team began to cast cloud and mist spells, which limited the enemy's vision, and with these, Yang Guangdao's army approached those tanks.
They divided the tanks into squads and separated the tanks individually, first of all, they needed to get their tracks right.
Due to the anomalies on the battlefield, these rebel tank crews were somewhat absurd, which allowed Yang Guangdao's army to successfully allow soldiers to successfully approach these steel creations at a very small cost.
Then there are a variety of attacks, such as planting a magnet bomb, lifting the gate on the roof of the car to kill the crew, or having the Taoist priest cast a thunderbolt method.
Although these tanks possessed an advanced anti-infantry counter-method system, they could not stand up to the actual combat experience of the crews who operated them, and soon the dozens of tanks on the flanks were destroyed or captured at the cost of two casualties each.
However, the captured tanks were locked by the built-in system and could not be activated, so Yang Guangdao had no choice but to let the soldiers blow up the captured tanks.
Their flanks were breached, but this did not make the enemy retreat, they were well-trained elites, who continued to stubbornly try to reorganize their ranks, desperately tearing open the cobwebs laid out by the Korean army.
The defense of the Dao armor of the Northern Expeditionary cavalry is close to the limit, and the enemy's tank is after all the crystallization of the technology of the Southern Luoya Empire, and the empire with rich hidden power naturally has the means to restrain the Dao method.
As the enemy crews recovered from their panic, their attacks began to grow rapidly, and the casualties of the Northern cavalry began to increase.
Although the cavalry was still fearless to the death to contain the enemy in the front, the number was limited after all, and there was no way to take care of the entire battlefield at the moment of attrition, so the pressure came to the army in the rear.
Although these soldiers were protected by the trenches that had been built, they were still suppressed by the enemy's shelling. The Warlords roared and threatened the soldiers with guns to use the anti-armor weapons that the dynasty had developed indigenously developed.
Even though some soldiers raised their heads under their own courage and the supervision of the warlords, and launched a counterattack against the enemy's tanks, the anti-armor weapons developed by the national dynasty failed to penetrate the enemy's armor, and at best they were lucky enough to destroy one or two tracks.
Soon several tanks arrived at a distance of several hundred meters in front of the position, and the machine guns on the tanks began to strafe the defenders, and the timid soldiers were even more afraid to raise their heads, and the casualties continued to rise.
Faced with this situation, the army can only resist desperately, using trenches and pre-dug ravines to block the enemy's tank forces.
However, the enemy's attacking forces were not only tank units, but also subsequent infantry units. The battle began to burn in an instant.
An hour after the start of the battle, the horses of the Northern Expeditionary cavalry were lost, and all the surviving soldiers dismounted and participated in Yang Guangdao's decisive assault on the enemy's tank troops.
For the tank troops, Yang Guangdao has one last resort, that is, heavy artillery bombardment, but heavy artillery bombardment will inevitably injure his own people by mistake, and he will do it as a last resort.
Now he is still trying, hoping to rely on the existing strength to defeat the enemy's advance.
However, he apparently somewhat underestimated the tanks from the South Loya Empire. After paying an extremely heavy price, the enemy still has no tendency to rout.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to contact the heavy artillery units in the rear, and the heavy artillery units that were already ready immediately began to adjust the firing of Zhuyuan according to the data of the front line.
Soon, after more than ten minutes, Yang Guangdao received a notice from the rear, so he immediately asked the troops to retreat.
The enemy did not know what was happening, but thought that the army of the Daohuang Dynasty was too badly damaged and retreated.
So ten minutes later, the center of the tank unit was enveloped by a huge mushroom cloud.
This is a specially designed heavy artillery, using a large number of Taoist structures and the most dangerous gunpowder formula, and the power of a single shell is no less than that of a 400 mm naval gun.
The explosion was the size of two racetracks, and the aftermath blew away many Korean soldiers. Of course, the rebel soldiers, who were closer to the center of the explosion, were even more uncomfortable.
After the explosion ended, the enemy's tank forces were almost completely killed, and Yang Guangdao hurriedly launched an attack on the surviving enemy tanks with the soldiers who could still continue to fight.
This time, the enemy's crew was completely panicked, and the army of the dynasty was able to overcome the enemy's attack.
In this battle, although the army of the country succeeded in eliminating the enemy's tank spearhead, it also suffered serious damage itself.
The cavalry of the Northern Expedition only had a quarter of the living force left, more than half of the soldiers trained by Yang Guangdao were killed or wounded, and a third of the southern soldiers who were sent to fill the battle line were killed.
By the time they are routed, the tanks will be unimpeded on the southern plains, and the big cities will fall, which will eventually lead to the entire south of the empire being plunged into war.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Guangdao decided to do something extremely risky, he summoned the trusted senior officers present and told them that he planned to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's tent with a group of death squads.
The officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army had no opinions, and the generals of the Southern soldiers who were called over were a little hesitant, after all, this seemed to be a lifeless operation.
If they had that courage, how could they have been defeated by the rebels.
Yang Guangdao naturally understood what these people were thinking, and he didn't embarrass them, but just asked the southern soldiers to give them their best equipment and war horses.
In the face of this request, those generals naturally did not deal with the matter, and hurried back to the city to personally supervise the baggage team to hand over the reserved Dao armor, Dao materials, and excellent war horses to them.
Yang Guangdao did not delay, let the troops rest in the city for a good night, and quietly left the city with the men and horses in the early morning of the next day.
They took advantage of the pre-dawn darkness to head towards the belly of the enemy-occupied zone.
Along the way, Yang Guangdao needs to carefully plan the route, arrive at the designated place at the specified time, contact the intelligence personnel of the national dynasty and obtain information about the enemy's commander's account.
Because of the great victory in the first battle, the emperor increased his support for Yang Guangdao, and the intelligence personnel in the entire southern enemy-occupied area, including Ye Jinxing and Dayjiabu, could be used by him for the time being.
With the help of intelligence and internal agents, the group was able to swim around the occupied zone without being detected by the enemy.
The Daohuang Dynasty was a large country in the East, and the southern part of it was large enough for those vassal states, so even if they had an army of 300,000 and all kinds of personnel accompanying it, it would still be impossible for them to supervise the entire occupied area.
Therefore, it was not until Yang Guangdao's troops had an encounter with a patrol near the base camp that Hideyoshi Langchen found out that a team from the Daohuang Dynasty had actually arrived at this place!
It was too late to escape, even if a patrol team could be used by everyone to be ten, it would not be possible to stop it for long, and he knew that no matter how few of the troops of the Nation and Dynasty wanted to behead, it would not be so small that even a patrol team could not be killed in a minute.
He immediately ordered the Guards to summon the tank battalion that was traveling with him, and then built improvised fortifications on the spot, allowing the accompanying vehicles to surround and protect the camp they were in.
