Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 65 The Battle of Suzhou City
The decisive battle in the south was in full swing, and a fierce debate began on the side of the imperial court. The news that Yang Guangdao led the army to retreat to Suzhou City has reached the capital, and now the officials are discussing a series of things about this matter.
For example, the matter of reinforcements, such as sneering at Yang Guangdao, the court is now arguing. Those who have lost some of their power because of Yang Guangdao naturally want to jump out and impeach Yang Guangdao vigorously.
Even if they have done it to the extreme, these people could lose the entire South in the first tank offensive.
Another example is to take this opportunity to clear the evidence of the attack. Some people took advantage of the chaos in the south to make a lot of money, including intelligence trafficking, and it was precisely because of these people's intelligence that the rebels dared to be so bold.
Originally, they were still afraid of the prestigious southern corps of the national dynasty, but now they know that those corps are busy with their own affairs and can't get out of their way, and the Chu army is already small in number, so the rebels dare to divide their troops.
Originally, if the south was directly defeated on all fronts, these things would naturally not be discovered, but with the appearance of Yang Guangdao, the advance of the rebels slowed down, and those imperial intelligence officers naturally had free time to investigate the underground transactions here.
Therefore, in this chaotic period, it is the best time to destroy the evidence of corruption and bribery.
Looking at the emperor's posture, a group of people will inevitably be liquidated after the end of the war, and corrupt officials will inevitably bear the brunt, because they are "good things", not only can they copy their homes to repair the treasury destroyed by the war, but they can also behead the people to see.
They see themselves as corrupt officials rather than traitors, and these scholars naturally deceive themselves in a variety of ways.
After the Northern Expedition, the treasury was already empty, and it was not easy to recover a little blood through the spoils, and now it fell into the disaster of quelling the rebellion, and the treasury wanted to cry without tears.
In the same way, the consciousness of the common people is not so high, except for the people in the north who have been plundered by the Cang Dynasty all the year round and the southerners who are now being plundered by the rebels, the people in the Central Plains have long been tired of war.
Therefore, some "corrupt officials" hurriedly destroyed the corpses and destroyed the traces, hoping that they would not be remembered by the emperor after the war ended.
Of course, you know what the emperor thinks, of course the emperor knows that you will think so, he will think so, how can you be able to destroy the evidence of the crime? The intelligence agencies of the imperial court are waiting for these corrupt officials who are thieves to fall into the net.
These sneaky people are often caught one by one, and then simply handed over to the criminal department for trial, and then all of them are sentenced to death.
Would it be confusing to do so while the war was going on? Then there is no need for the people to worry, how can a real corrupt official come to destroy evidence at this time?
Getting rid of these people will be beneficial to the war of the empire, and those who want to impeach Yang Guangdao will not continue when they see the emperor's attitude from the side.
As the rolling heads landed, the ghosts in the court were cleaned up, and those who were originally encouraged to make some extra money for themselves were also frightened and didn't dare to do it, and even some took the initiative to report it in the hope that the emperor could open the net.
After dealing with the affairs in the court, it is natural to think about the battle. After counting the holy decrees one after another, the Northern Expeditionary Army had no excuse to delay the speed of support, and the infantry troops began to march forcibly towards Suzhou City.
。
The Heavenly Prison Division, in the eyes of ordinary people, is an official government that looks at the stars, but it is actually the most important hidden force department of the empire.
If you want to talk about his history, maybe no one can tell it except for the archivists in the Heavenly Prison Division, this is an organization that is almost as old as this land.
The Heavenly Supervisor is a transcendent being, and generally speaking, the emperor needs to consult if he wants to use his power. It is generally neutral, has never participated in the civil wars of the country, and does not see them in the wars of changing dynasties, but they need their approval when each new dynasty is established.
However, they did not interfere with the world like their counterparts in Middle-earth, they often just delved into their own things, and then the new dynasty sent people to find time to welcome the new dynasty.
Presumably, the superintendent of such an organization must be able to maintain absolute sanity in the face of worldly things through layers of selection, right? The answer may be unexpected, its overseers are all controlled by an ancient family.
Therefore, there are a lot of restrictions on the superintendent, probably not allowing him to be involved in any political and military affairs in the country, so this generation of superintendents ran out of the empire and traveled everywhere when they were young, knowing that they had to return to China because of some accidents and then served as the superintendent of the superintendent.
The Superintendent has two important responsibilities, one is to record history, and the other is to provide early warning to contemporary rulers. :
The historical and cultural heritage of the East is indispensable to the contribution of the Heavenly Supervisor, almost all the national history books of the era can be found here, and the bottomless history well collection may be more than the number of people in the whole world.
Of course, they also have times when they participate in the world, for example, some sects go mad and are controlled by the shallow consciousness of living meteorites, and when other sects don't want to be infected, they will come out to take care of it.
For example, in the war against the Cang Dynasty, the Heavenly Supervisor Division was involved, and many Dao war machines were developed by them.
Now, in order to avoid quelling the rebellion, the emperor has asked the head of Ouchi to contact the people of the Heavenly Division, hoping to use the power that has been sealed.
Originally, the Prison Heaven Division didn't want to get involved, because the rise and fall of a dynasty was not their responsibility, but the news that the head of Ouchi directly moved out of the Southern Luoya Empire behind the rebellious vassal states made them have to participate.
The scientific researchers of the Jiantian Division immediately connected with the Ministry of Industry and began to develop armor-piercing weapons, while the Daofa troops rushed to the front line of Suzhou City with the Northern Expeditionary Army.
。
After Yang Guangdao woke up, he and his subordinates went to the headquarters on the ground. Although the night limited the engagement between the two sides, it did not stop the fighting, and the sound of distant gunfire could be heard at any time.
Not far from the headquarters was a camp where the soldiers of the Kuo Dynasty rested, and the soldiers who had just finished a night of fierce fighting were enjoying a rare hot soup with their comrades.
No matter how high the temperature is, the collapsed person is still cold and needs to be replenished with heat and sleep.
After nibbling on a few nests with hot soup, the soldiers spread their trench coats on their bodies and found a softer place to rest.
The results of the night battle were still in full swing, and Yang Guangdao didn't have much to do at this time, so he used communication devices to contact the support troops in the rear, and then directly assigned them combat positions.
The Flesh Mill is the Flesh Mill, and whether you're an elite troop or a recruit, you can be killed at any time here.
Therefore, the role of the Northern Expeditionary Army was not to use it to fill the defense line in Suzhou City, but to directly copy the rebels' hometown, which was the most unfortunate, and could also defeat the enemy's rear and force the enemy's troops in the city to retreat.
As for the troops sent by other cities in the south to support, they were all transferred into the city by Yang Guangdao to participate in street fighting.
By the time all the contacts were over, the latest Warzone map was updated.
In last night's battle, the enemy once again advanced a hundred meters on all fronts, and now has surrounded the former Suzhou City Mansion.
However, fortunately, the officials of Suzhou City did not know what wind they were pumping, so they had to build a small city wall outside the official mansion, which was called the inner city of Suzhou City, with a large area and could accommodate the families of the officials.
It was taken care of during the construction of the fortifications, and now it had enough supplies and a strong fortress to withstand the enemy siege.
Yang Guangdao immediately dispatched troops to prepare to relieve the siege for the troops of the Guanfu fortress.
Once again, the battle began. Mortars and muskets, as well as small artillery, were the first to launch a rapid and fierce attack on the enemy, and after stunting the enemy, the infantry units rushed forward to destroy any enemy they saw.
After the opposite side reacted, it immediately fired a signal flare into the air, and the enemy who was moving nearby immediately rushed to support, and on the main road leading to the official mansion, the two sides started a fight.
It didn't take long for the streets to be covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides.
Are there many people who die? There are only a few dozen people, which is only a fraction of the tens of thousands of people, but the soldiers on the front line feel that they are already a sea of corpses and blood.
The two sides had already killed each other, and began to fight with various tools, and in the end, more than a dozen soldiers of the Nation and Dynasty, covered in blood, survived, and they immediately seized the commanding heights on the street and forced all the people who came to support the enemy back.
With the follow-up of the national army, the encirclement of the Suzhou city government was broken.
Such a scene can be seen at any time at the junction of the two sides of Suzhou City, and the Korean army immediately launched a counterattack on all fronts with the newly arrived supplies.
In response to the active offensive launched by the Korean army, the rebels responded with artillery volleys.
The command immediately lowered the armor plate and met the enemy shelling.
The soldiers in the camp immediately woke up, skillfully wrapped their overcoats and carried all their equipment to the underground fortifications, and by the time the shells came, the camp ground was empty.
In the underground fortifications, although crowded, the soldiers still allocated their positions in an orderly manner and went to sleep. The enemy's shelling will not stop for a while and a half, and instead of waiting for the enemy's shelling to end and then returning to the ground to sleep, it is better to seize the time to rest.
Troops on the front line looked for anti-slopes on the spot to avoid shelling.
In addition to shelling the enemy, it seems that he is still angry, and the Air Force is also thrown. This time instead of using propeller fighters to drop bombs, larger planes were used to bomb them.
The area occupied by the Korean army, which was still somewhat complete, is now in ruins. Anti-aircraft machine guns on anti-aircraft positions fired in vain at large iron birds in the sky.
While the dynasty was adapting to the changes in the war, the rebels were doing the same.
Fortunately, due to the previous shelling, most of the troops went into the underground fortifications, so the casualties were not very heavy.
However, there was no way to spare the supplies, and those things that were placed in the rear warehouses could only be blown to pieces in the face of 500 kilograms of aerial bombs because they did not take into account the attack of the enemy's air force.
The shelling and air strikes ended, and the enemy's tank units appeared in the field of view of the front-line troops. It seems that after the enemy spent a few days in Suzhou City, they ran out of patience and wanted to push flat regardless of casualties.
Yang Guangdao, who learned of this situation, immediately asked the soldiers who were resting to immediately enter the battle state, and the battle for the survival of Suzhou City began.
