Chapter 46 Retreat blocked
046 Hu Hao and the others drove their car and retreated to the north quickly. They did not dare to neglect them. Once the enemy pursued them, they would be able to stop them soon, so they should be quick.
The car was driving for about an hour, and the enemy did not chase him. Hu Hao was relieved. This time Huan Xingtao and the others got a bus. Hu Hao and the others sat on the bus and looked at the situation outside.
There are still many cities with headlights in the distance. Maybe they don’t know yet. This place will soon become an occupied area. What will happen to their future lives? No one knows.
Thinking of this, Hu Hao had an unknown resentment towards the entire army command system today. Resentment that they abandoned the people was not as strong as the imperial military strength, nor that the imperial soldiers were not effective in fighting and did not dare to sacrifice, but that there were too many idiots in the entire command system, and they were all young masters and generals.
"Brother Hao, there is no problem this time, right?" He Jizhong looked at Hu Hao and asked.
"I don't know, it's probably not a big problem. We are little fish, and the enemy will not stare at us. The commander they are staring at are all large troops. Now our marching route is different from the command's marching route. It probably is not a big problem!" Hu Hao shook his head and said, but it still gave them confidence.
"That's good. It's better to follow Brother Hao. Only then can the brothers have confidence in their hearts. Follow them, we have no confidence. They can give up on us at any time. In their eyes, we are not even as good as dogs." He Jizhong nodded when he heard this.
"Ha!" Hu Hao heard this, sneered for a moment, and stopped talking.
The car was still driving to the north, and there were a large number of vehicles behind it, all of which were the 27th Army and the 28th Army. Now everyone has given up all the armored vehicles and cannot drive them.
Because they could not reach Dingkang Province before dawn, and tonight, the enemy's air force could break through, so tomorrow would definitely be fine. Therefore, they had to give up the armored vehicles and replace them with ordinary people's cars.
After about two hours, the coalition's air force indeed went to Jiang Kai. However, the Dongling Empire was not unprepared. The Dongling Empire dispatched two fighter pilots' planes, as well as other air force units, and also participated in the war and strangled the coalition's aircraft that wanted to drop.
This surprised the coalition forces. They thought this breakthrough was completely fine, but they did not expect that Dongling Kingdom had predicted it in advance!
Therefore, when it was blocked by fighter jets from Dongling Kingdom, the enemy's transport aircraft would not be able to retreat. If they did not retreat, they would definitely be shot down. They could only open the hatch door and let the airborne troops parachuted.
At this time, the air defense forces on the ground were also firing fires. After the searchlight found the enemy parachuting, the anti-aircraft machine gun also began to fire, firing at the coalition soldiers in mid-air.
Hu Hao didn't know about this situation and didn't care about it. They continued to move forward, safe overnight, without encountering any obstacles.
The next morning, Hu Hao and his convoy had arrived at the hinterland of Tianxiang Province. Hu Hao and his team did not dare to stop and continued to march to Dingkang Province to the north quickly.
At this time, a large number of fighter jets appeared in the sky. However, those fighter jets have not yet set their sights on Hu Hao and their convoys. The air force on the coalition side still thought they were the convoys of ordinary people.
But on Jiang Kai's side, things are much more troublesome, because Jiang Kai's troops can reach Dingkang Province in less than a few hours, and the coalition forces were plotted last night.
This morning, the coalition forces dispatched more than 500 fighter jets and took more than 100 bombers to start hitting Jiang Kai and his marching route on a large scale.
Dongling Kingdom did not think about this in advance. The Air Force was unable to block the coalition's assault, so the bombers arrived over the marching team and launched bombings. The retreating troops suffered heavy losses.
Hu Hao and the others didn't know it at all. All this seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Jiang Kai originally thought that it would be over after being bombed, but he did not expect that in the second wave, more than 400 fighter jets and 300 transport aircraft came from the coalition forces again. After the sudden outbreak reached the front of the retreating team, he started to drop the airdrop directly.
At one time, three airborne divisions were airdropped to a place less than 150 kilometers away from Dingkang Province, which happened to stop Jiang Kai's troops from retreating.
After the coalition's airborne troops landed, they began to guard those important transportation points, blow up the bridge decks, and at the same time, set up defensive positions on the other side of the river!
"Order the troops from Dingkang Province to come and reinforce us immediately. We have no way to attack the enemy on the other side. They have blown up the bridge. If we want to attack, we need to build a floating bridge, but the enemy will not give us this opportunity. The bridges of nearly 100 miles from both directions were blown up by the coalition air force.
General, please immediately order the troops in the Central Plains War Zone to send troops south to attack the enemy's paratroopers." Jiang Kai was in a private house and called the general of the Empire with a phone number.
"I have given them orders, and they said that now their troops are setting up defense lines, and it will take about 7 hours to gather and rush over,
At the same time, they could only dispatch three divisions to attack the paratroopers, because we arrived in Dingkang Province in advance, and the troops of the two divisions would take 24 hours to arrive. The defensive position requires leaving a division to defend." The general said to Jiang Kai.
"Tell them hurry up, the enemy bombers have now launched a large bombing on us. Our troops have no place to hide, and there are no big cities nearby.
Moreover, the people in the cities now didn't know that the enemy had already come here and had not fled. If our troops enter the city, the people will suffer huge casualties. General, please order them to hurry up! I will also organize troops to continue to break through." Jiang Kai said anxiously.
"I know, you should also think of a way to break through as soon as possible. According to the news sent by our reconnaissance plane, there are three pursuers from the coalition behind the coalition, which is less than 20 hours away from your large army. You must break through the enemy's defense line within 15 hours." The general said to Jiang Kai.
"Yes!" Jiang Kai said loudly, then hung up the phone.
"Your uncle!" Jiang Kai cursed angrily, and was about to retreat successfully, but unexpectedly, the coalition forces were determined to eat their own troops. Last night, Jiang Kai ate the troops of the two airborne divisions of the coalition forces.
Today, they actually deployed three airborne divisions, and now, the enemy bombers continue to bomb their own troops. It is impossible to assemble the troops now, let alone break through.
"Commander, the bridge 100 miles nearby has basically been destroyed. And once our troops move in other directions, the enemy bombers will definitely blow up the bridge farther. We are at speed, and we must be faster than the enemy bombers. Commander, what should we do?" Chief of Staff Sun Qinxue asked Jiang Kai.
"What to do? What to do? How do I know what to do? Now our troops are not able to assemble, what else can I do?" Jiang Kai cursed in a panic.
Then I looked at my watch and it was already 9 a.m. According to the orders of the military headquarters, they must break through the paratroopers in front before one a.m.
"What should I do?" Sun Qinxue got angry when he saw Jiang Kai. He knew that things were very troublesome. They could only wait for reinforcements from Dingkang Province to come, but how should they survive these 6 hours?
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao, the commander wants to call you!" At this time, Zhao Haibin held the phone and shouted to Hu Hao behind him.
"What's the matter?" Hu Hao heard it and took it.
"Hey, I'm Hu Hao, what's wrong?" Hu Hao immediately asked when he heard this.
"Hehe, I just got the news in the morning. Last night, the coalition forces really dropped airdrops. Our commander arranged an ambush of air forces, and the ground troops launched air defense, successfully annihilated two enemy airborne divisions. This time, you have made great contributions!" Li Jinsong said to Hu Hao with a smile.
"You have made a lot of contributions, wait, wait!" Hu Hao said, and immediately shouted "Wait."
"What's wrong?" Li Jinsong heard it there and started asking.
"I'll ask you, when did you get the news? Last night, when did the enemy start attacking? Why did you only know this morning?" Hu Hao asked with a frown.
"Oh, this, I asked a friend of mine, who is also a general. He asked in the morning. He said he was beaten at about 10 o'clock last night. What's wrong? What's the problem?" Li Jinsong answered Hu Hao's question.
"Mad, the problem is big. Today, the troops on our commander's side may be attacked again. At the speed of the march, our troops are either coming to Dingkang Province or being blocked not far from Dingkang Province. Call and ask if they have been attacked again!" Hu Hao said immediately.
"Ah, it's impossible to be attacked again. They didn't succeed last night. Today, during the day, will the coalition forces continue to airborne?" Li Jinsong asked a little disbelief when he heard it.
"Yes, call and ask!" Hu Hao said immediately.
"Okay!" Li Jinsong heard this and immediately wanted to hang up the phone.
"Wait, remember, don't tell them where we are, don't tell them, have you heard it?" Hu Hao shouted loudly.
"Ah, OK!" Li Jinsong heard it, a little confused, but he still answered.
