Chapter 914 New Situations Emerging in 915
He Zhe and Zhao Chen saw the loss report about their troops' attack on the Fengjiang defenders' defense line in their headquarters.
These days, it is not that he is not focusing on attacking, but he is attacking the Fengjiang defenders' defense line at all costs.
But if he can storm any line of defense at all costs, then he will be the number one **** of war in the world! In fact, his talent in military command may not even be matched by Feng Kezhi's.
In the past two days, he has lost more than 5,000 soldiers in order to penetrate Fengjiang's defense line, and these more than 5,000 soldiers are all the elites of the Great China Empire!
Absolutely not a joke, they are real elites: armored divisions equipped with Type 3 tanks, main divisions with bright armor and complete equipment!
These troops are very expensive to set up. At the same time, they are also the backbone of the Great China Empire's army, and they are the main elites who have high hopes. Otherwise, these troops would not have been able to brave the enemy's artillery fire and attack desperately for so many days.
Originally, these troops were prepared for the Tang Empire, but now they were wasted on the battlefield of the Fengjiang Civil War. This made Zhao Chen extremely distressed and made Shen Chuan vomit three liters of blood.
In fact, since Zhao Ji rushed back to the front line, the fierce attacks of the Dahua army have never stopped. If Zhao Chen might have some reservations because he felt sorry for his troops, then Zhao Ji definitely had no mercy.
Under the supervision of Zhao Ji, the Dahua army used all their strength to attack the Fengjiang defense line, but for more than ten days in a row, they really made no progress.
On the one hand, this is because the defense line that the Fengjiang defenders rely on is too strong, and on the other hand, it is also because the losses of the Dahua army are indeed huge.
If everything remains unchanged, the situation is actually favorable to the Great China Empire: although the losses are huge, it is Fengjiang who can obviously not afford the losses.
But, can all this be as the Great China Empire wishes?
"Your Highness the Prince..." An officer took a report submitted by the subordinates and handed it to Zhao Chen: "There is bad news."
"Just read it! I haven't heard any good news these days." Zhao Chen casually waved his hand and ordered.
“Our army discovered some goblin troops from the Mirage Kingdom on the Fengjiang defense line.” The officer briefly reported the core content of the document.
"Alas...you mean, the Mirage Kingdom is involved?" Zhao Chen sighed, looked at the other party and said.
What he feared most finally happened. Although the Tang Empire was unwilling to personally participate in this war, this did not mean that other countries would not get involved.
Even from an intuitive point of view, being involved in the civil war of the Great China Empire would not actually be of any benefit to these countries. However, with the Great Tang Empire intervening in the process, maybe some countries would be willing to get involved and make a "quick money".
"That's not the case when listening to Fengjiang's broadcast. The broadcast over there said that these are mercenaries fighting for free trade. They do not represent mirage countries." The officer explained.
"It's the same... I just said it to give us an explanation. I bet that those goblins are regular soldiers with numbers, drawn directly from the Mirage Kingdom." Zhao Chen sneered disapprovingly: "Approximately how many people are there? ?”
"Fengjiang's broadcast said there were 100,000 people. They also said that 100,000 dwarves and 100,000 elves were also preparing to join the war." The officer continued to report the relevant broadcast content.
They have limited channels to obtain Fengjiang’s intelligence. The intelligence department of the Great China Empire was not very powerful to begin with, and when faced with the intelligence department of the Tang Empire, it was basically in a state of paralysis.
So listening to Fengjiang's radio has become an important means of intelligence gathering: anyway, all kinds of news about Fengjiang will be broadcast on the radio in order to calm people's hearts. It is not impossible for Dahua to use it directly after listening to it.
"It's just a propaganda offensive. Half of it would be good." Zhao Chen understood clearly: "However, even 70,000 to 80,000 people are enough for Fengjiang to hold on for a while."
He had no doubts about the transportation capacity of the Tang Empire. With the transportation capabilities of the Tang Empire, the troops of the Mirage Kingdom could reach Fengjiang within a few days as long as they landed at Linshui or Beiyuan ports. This speed was comparable to that of Dahua. The empire is much more efficient.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the mirage army, the dwarf army, and the elven army is no worse than that of the Great China Empire, and may even be slightly stronger.
In this case, as long as Toyojiang is allowed to survive, the support will continue to come from behind! When the time comes when the Dahua Empire wants a quick victory, it will really be just a joke.
In fact, they have almost become a joke now: they have been attacking in vain for more than 30 days on the Fengjiang defense line, and they have not succeeded in advancing even one kilometer.
The two sides fought repeatedly on the battlefield, but the losses were getting higher day by day. Zhao Chen had received several telegrams from Zhao Kai criticizing his indecision. If Zhao Ji hadn't been supervising the battle, Zhao Kai would have long suspected that Zhao Chen wasn't trying his best. "Where is the Type 5 tank? Where is it?" Zhao Chen gritted his teeth, looked back at Zhao Ji and asked, "If you don't come, it will be too late."
Zhao Ji is actually very embarrassed when it comes to this matter - in the research and development stage of the Type 5 tank, the main focus is on strengthening the armor. In fact, all countries have similar ideas.
The gadgets that can be manufactured have some big troubles in actual use, the most important of which is the inconvenience of transportation.
The tank troops did not drive to the battlefield by themselves, otherwise the tracks would have been broken long ago. Therefore, tank troops rely on railway transportation to reach the front line in most cases.
The Type 5 tank was not designed with rail transportation in mind, so it is very troublesome to transport this heavy tank by rail and through bridges.
The overweight makes it very troublesome to transport these steel behemoths, so they have not reached the battlefield until now.
“Come on, the headquarters of the heavy tank regiment has arrived at the front line, and the last batch of tanks has passed Hezhe.” Zhao Ji said with some embarrassment.
One tank regiment only has 90 tanks in total. After being transported, there are still two companies that have not reached the front line. It is a miracle.
"No more waiting! Let a tank battalion go up first! No matter what, break through Fengjiang's defense line! Push the battle line to the outskirts of Fengjiang! If we continue like this, we will be finished!" Zhao Chen ordered angrily.
Seeing that Zhao Chen was really anxious, Zhao Ji felt secretly happy - he really hoped to hit Fengjiang and kill that **** Zhao Yu. The outcome of this war is not important, Zhao Yu's death is the most important thing!
At this moment, another officer hurriedly ran in and handed a message to Zhao Ji and Zhao Chen: "Your Highness...the news you just received was from the Imperial Capital."
After receiving the message and reading it, Zhao Chen immediately broke his guard and cursed: "Xiong Biao, this bastard! He was so **** unworthy of licking my shoes in the past! Now he is being treated as a dog for others, and he dares to bite me I!"
Zhao Ji also turned pale. Although he didn't know what the Butcher fighter was, he could clearly see the adjective "Equipment of the Tang Empire" in front of him.
At this time, Chu State actually took the lead in donating 100 Butcher fighter jets to Fengjiang, and also donated 100 IL attack aircraft... This is simply putting the Dahua Empire on the fire!
The Dahua Empire’s air force was not very good. This time the Fengjiang Army obtained weapons and equipment from the Tang Empire. Why not knock the Dahua Empire’s air force to the ground?
The key point is that this is not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing is that once the weapons and equipment of the Tang Empire appear on the battlefield, how to tell whether these weapons are from the assistance of the Datang Empire?
At that time, there will not be 100 Butcher fighter jets, maybe 200, maybe 300! If that time really comes, what will happen to the Great China Empire?
“Xiong Biao, this **** bastard!” Zhao Ji roared angrily: “Isn’t he afraid that our Dahua Empire will rise one day and settle this old debt with him?”
"Order the front-line troops to immediately prepare air defense camouflage! The second-line troops will hide all material storage stations! Notify the air defense artillery troops and ask them to pay attention to the enemy's air force..." Knowing that our own side is likely to face the enemy's powerful air power, Zhao Chen immediately issued a series of orders.
He knew that if this batch of planes arrived in Fengjiang, Fengjiang would definitely let the air force be dispatched aggressively. By then, the entire sky may be occupied by the Toyoji Air Force.
At that time, if you want to launch a decent large-scale attack from the ground, you will have to look at the face of the Toyojiang Air Force.
Therefore, he immediately turned back and looked at his men: "Pass on the order I just gave! This afternoon! Double the scale of the attack! Attack it with one regiment! If it doesn't work, attack it with one division! It must be in Break through Toyoe’s army’s defenses before losing air supremacy!”
He knew that if he didn't give Zhao Kai an explanation now, he would have no chance to give Zhao Kai an explanation again when the situation became more complicated.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the matter was not only related to his direction, so he immediately said again: "Remind Zhao Zheng! Let him guard the mountain screen! Don't take a step back!"
He has strong troops and horses, but he still feels guilty. Zhao Zheng has been facing a fierce attack by Fengjiang Army of 200,000 people. You can imagine the pressure.
If something goes wrong on Shanping, Guiguang will be in danger—the most feared thing is that if Guiguang is lost, Jiange and Nanku will not be safe.
The impact of this series is equivalent to saying that the Dahua Empire has lost about a quarter of its territory and the land of Longxing. Then the Dahua Empire can be considered finished.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen hated Zhao Yu even more. If it weren't for this **** who was obsessed with fighting for reserves, the Great China Empire wouldn't be so difficult! —
Two updates today, take a rest.
