162 The Great Change of the Battle Situation
"Commander, the enemy's attack is more fierce than expected. Should we withdraw the 18th Army first and rest?"
Shortly after the sound of the drums of Paul Bell rang on the battlefield, the soldiers who were inspired brought new problems to the attacking Eastern Front Command of the Republic of Negro. Taiga Bush, commander of the Eastern Front Command, stood on the high command platform and looked at the battlefield in the distance. The commander of the 19th Army, Levi Slattery, stood behind him and made suggestions.
"No, Commander, we can hold on! Take Chadra in one go! There is no problem with the 18th Army!"
The commander of the 18th Army, Alan Cavallo, stood beside Levi Slatterly and raised objections. With the steam cannons from the Weapons Institute, everyone saw the victory that was within reach and close. At this time, let the 18th Army withdraw the troops and give the fruits of victory to the 19th Army? Alan Cavallo is not that kind of stupid old hat.
"Commander, the 18th Army has been fighting until now, with heavy casualties. The enemy's will to resist is fierce. It is better to send the 17th and 19th Army. We have sufficient troops and we can definitely take Chadra in one go. At that time, you will not only be the first commander to recover the entire Duchy of Lailin, but also the first commander to set foot on the territory of Ankenrien. You will become the most powerful war god in the post-magic era! Commander, now with the steam cannon of the Weapon Research Institute, our troops are invincible. Even if the enemy resists tenaciously, the final outcome cannot be changed. We are destined to win the war. What are you still hesitating? Let us kill together and decide the outcome in one battle!"
The person who spoke was John Clemonds, the commander of the 17th Army. Seeing that Levi Slattery of the 19th Army failed to seize the credit, he took the initiative to propose a compromise. Since the commander did not want to replace the 18th Army, we might as well go together and share the credits together. This is more fair.
"Well, that's fine." The Tai family also knew what the generals under their command were thinking. Last year, Ankenry was pressed to the ground and beaten for half a year, and all the soldiers of the Negro Republic were full of anger. Now that victory is finally in sight, who doesn't want to be the first person to rush into the enemy headquarters?
"Tell me the order that the 19th Army on the left and 17th Army on the right and 17th Army on the right and launch a general attack!"
The Tai family made the decision very fast. It was not that he was not cautious, but that the cards in his hand were too good. The nearly one hundred steam cannons provided by the Weapons Institute, which provided the key to his army to win. Even if this heavy weapon on an eight-wheeled cart was inconvenient to transport and exploded, it could break through the iron shield defense line and destroy the line-up shooting formation, and quickly destroy the enemy's will at the beginning of the battle. Moreover,
After the news that the enemy sent the Third Legion to Enspan to deal with the communist force, Tai Family Bush clearly realized that the opportunity had come. Originally, the two sides had similar forces, but now the opponent suddenly drew an entire legion to deal with a small rebellious force of less than 10,000 people, making him feel that the person on the other side had been kicked by a donkey. With more than 60,000 troops and a killer weapon like steam cannons. How could Tai Family Bush defeat a good hand of cards?
"Get orders!"
"Get orders!"
The reactions of Levi Slatterly and John Clemonds were almost the same. The two looked at each other excitedly and rushed out. The commander of the 18th Army, Alan Cavallo, shrugged at Tai'e Bush and made a helpless expression.
"Forget it, this is a great contribution, and it is not appropriate to let you eat alone."
The Tai family Bush knew it. This time, the nine armies that came with him to fight Lailin. The 17th, 18th and 19th armies were his direct line and were the most convenient, so he kept it by his side. As for the five armies of the 20th, 21st armies and the newly formed 22th, 23rd and 24th armies, he arranged them on the other three sides of Chadra, responsible for surrounding Chadra. Steam cannons were all brought by him as a killer weapon, which basically eliminated the possibility of other armies attacking Chadra first. However, after the last victory in the Lorraine-Renn defense line, he also relaxed the commanders of the other five armies. As long as they had the ability and ability to attack Chadra, he would have given a lot of honors and rewards.
With the issuance of the Tai family's orders, the reserves of the remaining two divisions of the 17th Army and the 19th Army, a total of four divisions, were also put into the battlefield. They arranged neatly, with guns, and the soldiers in the front row were wearing armor and advancing with the sound of the empty flute. After the country entered the wartime track, the production speed of simple plate armor was greatly improved, and now it can basically achieve a ratio of nearly 10%. The Tai family also used the armored spearmen separately, improving the defense ability of the first and second rows of the formation in line to kill. Judging from the actual combat effect, it is also good.
"The opposite side is now Paul Bell is beating the drum."
Stefan Schgwa, chief of staff of the Eastern Front Command, stepped forward and handed the Tai family Bush a pair of telescopes. The Tai family Bush took it, looked into the distance for a while, and laughed.
"This old guy is a backbone. Has the person sent out to persuade him to surrender?"
"It should have arrived, but I haven't waited for a reply."
"I originally thought that those who betrayed his master like this might accept surrender. But judging from his current situation, it is probably unlucky."
"He has no way out. The emperor will not give him a good end. We are not willing to accept surrender. Moreover, if a defeated general, he will probably not look down on anything we can give him."
"Yes," the Tai family curled their lips, "It's okay to give it a try anyway, it won't cost much."
————————————
"Let me surrender?" Paul Bell beat the drum for a while and was sweating. He handed the drum hammer to the soldiers waiting for the orders and threw it to the soldiers waiting for the orders.
"Tell them, I, Paul Zhong, are not the kind of person who kneels down to the enemy!"
"I understand, let's do it now," Tobias Pas nodded, turned around and ordered. When he returned to Paul Zhong, the commander had already put on his clothes and was holding a telescope to look at the command tower opposite.
"What are you thinking about that guy from the Tai family now?"
In order to facilitate command, the front-line command towers of both sides are not far away. In the face of the final battle, Paul Zhong and Taijia Bush both chose to arrive in front of command. This gave them the opportunity to see each other through a telescope.
"I guess I'm going to celebrate after winning."
Tobias Pas was honest, he frowned and reported another bad news.
"Mr. Commander, your drums have inspired the morale of our soldiers. The group just now called very well. However, the enemy seemed to have sent the reserves of the 17th Army and the 19th Army, and the situation was not optimistic."
"I know," Tai's Bush wiped his sweat with a towel. "As long as their steam cannons are dull, the number of people is not important. Our soldiers have been pressed for so long. Once their steam cannons are broken, the energy that everyone holds in their hearts comes out, they can definitely fight a defensive counterattack."
"Well, the latest statistics, they can use less than ten steam cannons now, and they do have limited impact on our battle situation."
"Just wait. When their cannons are silent, we will rush out to fight!"
——————————
"Commander, the Weapons Research Institute has eight cannons that have been repaired and can be used."
"Then let them all come! The old guy on the opposite side can hold on until now, isn't it just that our steam cannons are blown up? Although this thing is easy to break, it can't hold us back with experts. He put these eight cannons from the front and then pulled all the broken cannons, but they still looked good, and arranged some soldiers to cheer and tell them that we had fifty more cannons!"
"Okay commander!" Stefan Schgva, chief of staff of the Eastern Front Command, nodded, turned around and ordered, and then turned back.
"Mr. Commander, your move is fake and real, probably to be recorded in military history."
"Haha, let's talk about flattery when I win," Tai's Bush picked up the telescope again. He wanted to see if his orders could achieve the result he wanted.
——————————
The forty-two steam cannons pulled up from behind did indeed have a chemical reaction. Seeing that there were so many steam cannons on their own, the soldiers of Negro who were already in a melee cheered excitedly. The soldiers of the Western Theater Command who saw the enemy put into new steam cannons showed despair on their faces. The 17th Army, who had just been put into the battlefield, seized the opportunity of a huge psychological gap between the two sides and made a concerted effort to crush the enemy's last line of defense.
It was as if the originally solid dam suddenly collapsed in the face of a flood that exceeded its own burden, as if the tall building blocks were drawn off the key piece of the lowest level, and the troops and soldiers of the Western Theater Command suddenly collapsed. They dropped their weapons, either fled, or surrendered. The situation on the battlefield took a turbulent reversal in an instant. There was no more army and soldiers in front of the army of the Republic of Negru that could resist them.
"How could they have so many new cannons!"
Paul Zhong murmured to himself as the situation on the battlefield collapsed in an instant. Beside him, his guards had rushed up to take him out of this no longer safe place. Under his command, the commander of the Second Legion, Tobias Pas, reached out and grabbed his hand.
The old commander's hands are cold.
"Master Commander, you can't hesitate. Regardless of whether the enemy's steam cannon is true or not, the collapsed thing below cannot be changed. When the war reaches this point, we have tried our best. What we can do now is to give up Chadra and go find Sky Hamm. There are 60,000 people on his side and the spoils of steam machine guns. As long as someone has weapons, we can get up everywhere."
"This is impossible...this is impossible...they make a fraud!!!"
Paul Zhong was still muttering to himself, but his guards and his confidants would no longer let him waste his time on the doomed battle situation. They half-pulled and half-draged, leading Paul Zhong away from the high command platform. Behind them, soldiers from the Negro Republic had already launched a charge.
——————————
"Your Highness, we are going to win!!!"
Standing on the high command tower and looking at the cheering soldiers in the distance, Wenfeng Gibson was a little dazed. In the past few months he had come to the North Line, he had experienced nothing but defeat. In his memory, it seemed that there was never a joy of victory. Now, facing the sudden collapse of the enemy, he pinched his face in disbelief.
"Your Highness, it's true. We won, under your command! Congratulations!!!"
Barry McCarney, commander of the Central Military Region, looked happy. As the nominal commander of Prince Wenfeng, he has rubbed Prince Wenfeng more butts for others in his life in recent months. Fortunately, when they held on, fought back several times, and suffered several defeats, their opponent, Prince Eliot, did not make much progress.
"I won, I really won..."
Wenfeng Gibson rubbed his face a few times and turned his head to ask McCarney.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Your Highness, you are the commander of this battle, and the next orders will be issued by you. I believe that after so much exercise, you can definitely do the job of commander."
"good!"
Seeing McCarney smiling at his face, Prince Wenfeng also became energetic. He raised his hand high and waved forward with force.
"Tell me my order, take advantage of the victory and recover the Zidai Plain!!"
——————————
"Father, I failed."
Unlike Prince Wenfeng's joy, Karim Ronin, who lost the second Neussam battle, once again knelt in front of his adoptive father.
"It doesn't matter if you lose, it's important to understand why you lose."
Charlie Ronin still looked calm, but he was older than two months ago. Even in summer, his legs were still covered with a thin blanket, and he was wearing a thick jacket. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that some force had taken away all the heat from him.
"Father."
Karim shouted, but didn't say anything. This time he was greedy for merit and was rash. After eating one of the enemy's troops, he planned to pursue the victory and take down Northsam with anger. However, he fell into the trap of the little fox on the opposite side, and was ambushed and eaten up most of the troops. He could come back due to the desperate defense of his guards. He had already reported to his father during the entire battle process. Why did he lose this battle? He knew, and his father knew.
"The situation is not good now..."
Charlie Ronin did not continue to discuss the responsibility issue. He waved his hand to signal Karim to get up and pushed his wheelchair to the window. In the afternoon, Tongtaicheng was bathed in the hot sun, and the whole thing revealed a warm feeling.
"Roninger's foundation is still too thin. When we fight like this, the economy in the rear is a bit unbearable. We originally wanted to win quickly, but we didn't expect the enemy to take out something like an iron shield and chest wall. At our current weapon level, the defensive loss of strong attacks is too great, and the terrain is required to surround the back, which is not so easy to fight."
"My father, we will definitely win this war." Karim Ronin didn't know what his father meant to him. While answering carefully, he pondered the deep meaning behind this.
"Yesterday, Paul sent someone to see me." Charlie Ronin looked out the window, his voice so low that he couldn't hear it. Karim looked at the sparse white hair on his father's head, and suddenly realized that he was no longer the powerful Glacier Duke who was back then.
"He said that now that Niglu and Alang are in a great enemy, Ankenry will probably be out of power if he continues to flee internally. He asked me if I would like to surrender and promised to give me a prince of peace to ensure that I have no worries about food and clothing in the next life."
Charlie Ronin calmly threw out a message. He raised his hand and pressed the arm of his son who was holding his wheelchair.
Chapter completed!
